چکیده

The present work describes the construction and validation of a human scFv library with a novel design approach to synthetic complementarity determining region (CDR) diversification. The advantage of synthetic antibody libraries includes the possibility of exerting fine control over factors like framework sequences, amino acid and codon usage, and CDR diversity. However, random combinatorial synthesis of oligonucleotides for CDR sequence diversity also produces many clones with unnatural sequences and/or undesirable modification motifs. To alleviate these issues, we designed and constructed a novel semi-synthetic human scFv library with non-combinatorial, pre-designed CDR diversity and a single native human framework each for heavy, kappa, and lambda chain variable domains. Next-generation sequencing analysis indicated that the library consists of antibody clones with highly nature-like CDR sequences and the occurrence of the post-translational modification motifs is minimized. Multiple unique clones with nanomolar affinity could be isolated from the library against a number of target antigens, validating the library design strategy. The results demonstrate that it is possible to construct a functional antibody library using low, non-combinatorial synthetic CDR diversity, and provides a new strategy for the design of antibody libraries suitable for demanding applications.

Assessment of "drug-likeness" of a small library of natural products using chemoinformatics

Even though natural products has an excellent record as a source for new drugs, the advent of ultrahigh-throughput screening and large-scale combinatorial synthetic methods, has caused a decline in the use of natural products research in the pharmaceutical industry. This is due to the efficiency in generating and screening a high number of synthetic combinatorial compounds; whereas traditional ...

BACKGROUND Antibody phage display is a proven key technology that allows the generation of human antibodies for diagnostics and therapy. From naive antibody gene libraries - in theory - antibodies against any target can be selected. Here we describe the design, construction and characterization of an optimized antibody phage display library. RESULTS The naive antibody gene libraries HAL9 and ...

Limited diversity of human scFv fragments isolated by panning a synthetic phage-display scFv library with cultured human melanoma cells.

To broaden the specificity of the Abs recognizing human melanoma-associated Ags (MAAs), we have isolated human single-chain fragment of the V region (scFv) fragments by panning the synthetic phage Ab library (#1) with the human melanoma cell lines S5 and SK-MEL-28. All of the isolated scFv fragments reacted with the mouse mAb defined high molecular weight melanoma-associated Ag (HMW-MAA). scFv ...
