Generation and immune-characterization of single chain fragment variable (scFv) antibody recognize breast cancer cells line (MCF-7)

Generation and immune-characterization of single chain fragment variable (scFv) antibody recognize breast cancer cells line (MCF-7)

Phage display technologies were used to produce singlechain antibodies (scFv) against breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). The mouse B cell hybridoma line C3A8 was the starting material, which generates a monoclonal antibody against breast cancer cells (MCF-7). The best candidate scFv sequences, based on (ELISA) screening data were sub-cloned into HB2151 host strain. The scFv gene was expressed in ...

Construction of single-chain variable fragment antibodies against MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

A phage display library of single chain variable fragment (scFv) against MCF-7 breast cancer cells was constructed from C3A8 hybridoma cells. RNA from the C3A8 was isolated, cDNA was constructed, and variable heavy and light immunoglobulin chain gene region were amplified using PCR. The variable heavy and light chain gene regions were combined with flexible linker, linked to a pCANTAB 5E phagem...

Generation of a Single Chain Antibody Variable Fragment (scFv) to Sense Selectively RhoB Activation

Determining the cellular level of activated form of RhoGTPases is of key importance to understand their regulatory functions in cell physiopathology. We previously reported scFvC1, that selectively bind to the GTP-bound form of RhoA, RhoB and RhoC. In this present study we generate, by molecular evolution, a new phage library to isolate scFvs displaying high affinity and selectivity to RhoA and...

Generation and characterization of a human single-chain fragment variable (scFv) antibody against cytosine deaminase from Yeast

BACKGROUND The ability of cytosine deaminase (CD) to convert the antifungal agent 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) into one of the most potent and largely used anticancer compound such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) raised considerable interest in this enzyme to model gene or antibody - directed enzyme-prodrug therapy (GDEPT/ADEPT) aiming to improve the therapeutic ratio (benefit versus toxic side-effects) of...
