چکیده

In this review we will focus on the current status and views concerning the production of antibody fragments and antibody fusion proteins by yeasts and filamentous fungi. We will focus on single-chain antibody fragment production (scFv and VHH) by these lower eukaryotes and the possible applications of these proteins. Also the coupling of fragments to relevant enzymes or other components will be discussed. As an example of the fusion protein strategy, the 'magic bullet' approach for industrial applications, will be highlighted.

Production and Evaluation of Polyclonal Rabbit Anti-Human p53 Antibody Using Bacterially Expressed Glutathione S-transferase-p53 fusion protein

p53 is a key tumor suppressor gene that is targeted for inactivation during human tumorigenesis. In this study, we produced and characterized polyclonal antihuman p53 antibody. The cDNA encoding the completehuman p53 protein was cloned into pGEX-4T-1 and expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein with Schistosoma japonicum glutathione S-transferase (GST). The rabbits were immunized...

Expression of Recombinant Antibodies

Recombinant antibodies are highly specific detection probes in research, diagnostics, and have emerged over the last two decades as the fastest growing class of therapeutic proteins. Antibody generation has been dramatically accelerated by in vitro selection systems, particularly phage display. An increasing variety of recombinant production systems have been developed, ranging from Gram-negati...

A Comparative Investigation of the Bispecific Antibody: Expression in Expi293F Cells and E.Coli

Aims: Bispecific antibodies are capable of targeting two cell surface markers simultaneously. Blinatumomab an anti-CD3/CD19 Bispecific T cell engager antibody (BiTE) is approved for clinical application by FDA. This BiTE effectively targets malignant cells in ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) patients. For production of large quantities of such antibodies in industrial settings choice of host ...

Heterologous Immunization, a Way out of the Problem of Monoclonal Antibody Production against Carcinoma Antigen 125

Background: Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are essential tools for many molecular im-munology investigations, epitope mapping and molecular modelling, clinical laboratory di-agnostic tests and immunotherapy. Humoral immune response of immunized animals largely depends on the nature of antigen and the immunization technique. Polysaccharides and heavily-glycosylated proteins are very elusive target...

Purification of human anti-erythropoietin polyclonal antibodies by precipitation and chromatography as an optimized method with potential application in vaccine studies

Introduction: Polyclonal antibodies are required to be affinity purified. Improved purification methods of polyclonal antibody provide an opportunity to pick the most purified immunoglobulins as a primary or secondary antibody in immunoassays that are included in many vaccine studies. Two common techniques for purifying proteins is salt precipitation and chromatography purification. Our work fo...
