Characterization of a Single Chain Fv Antibody that Reacts with Free Morphine
نویسندگان
چکیده
An immune phage library derived from mice, hyperimmunized with morphineconjugated BSA, was used to isolate a single-chain Fv (scFv) clone, M86, with binding activity to morphine-conjugated thyroglobulin (morphine-C-Tg) but not to codeine-, cocaine-, or ketamine-conjugated Tg. Surface plasmon resonance analysis using a morphine-C-Tg-coupled CM5 sensor chip showed that the Kd value was 1.26 × 10 M. To analyze its binding activity to free morphine and related compounds, we performed a competitive ELISA with M86 and morphine-C-Tg in the absence or presence of varying doses of free morphine and related compounds. IC50 values for opium, morphine, codeine, and heroin were 257 ng/mL, 36.4, 7.3, and 7.4 nM, respectively. Ketamine and cocaine exhibited no competitive binding activity to M86. Thus, we established a phage libraryderived scFv, M86, which recognized not only free morphine and codeine as opium components but also heroin. This characteristic of M86 may be useful for developing therapeutic reagents for opiate addiction and as a free morphine-specific antibody probe. OPEN ACCESS Antibodies 2013, 2 94

Antigen binding forces of individually addressed single-chain Fv antibody molecules.
Antibody single-chain Fv fragment (scFv) molecules that are specific for fluorescein have been engineered with a C-terminal cysteine for a directed immobilization on a flat gold surface. Individual scFv molecules can be identified by atomic force microscopy. For selected molecules the antigen binding forces are then determined by using a tip modified with covalently immobilized antigen. An scFv...
متن کاملA multi-Fc-species system for recombinant antibody production
BACKGROUND Genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic projects often suffer from a lack of functional validation creating a strong demand for specific and versatile antibodies. Antibody phage display represents an attractive approach to select rapidly in vitro the equivalent of monoclonal antibodies, like single chain Fv antibodies, in an inexpensive and animal free way. However, so far, recombinant...
متن کاملGeneration and characterization of a single gene-encoded single-chain-tetravalent antitumor antibody.
Monoclonal antibody (mAb) CC49, a murine IgG1, reacts with the tumor-associated glycoprotein-72 expressed on a variety of carcinomas. In clinical trials, radiolabeled CC49 has shown excellent tumor localization to a variety of carcinomas. To minimize the immunogenicity of CC49 mAb in patients, a humanized CC49 (HuCC49) was generated by complementarity-determining region (CDR) grafting. The rela...
متن کاملDevelopment and implementation of a single-chain Fv antibody for specific detection of Bacillus anthracis spores.
A single-chain Fv (scFv) antibody was developed and applied for efficient and specific detection of Bacillus anthracis spores. The antibody was isolated from a phage display library prepared from spleens of mice immunized with a water-soluble extract of the outer membrane of the B. anthracis spore (exosporium). The library (7 x 10(6) PFU) was biopanned against live, native B. anthracis ATCC del...
متن کاملHelix-stabilized Fv (hsFv) antibody fragments: substituting the constant domains of a Fab fragment for a heterodimeric coiled-coil domain.
Antibody Fv fragments would in principle be useful for a variety of biotechnological applications because of their small size and the possibility to produce them in relatively large amounts in recombinant form; however, their limited stability is a drawback. To solve this problem, both domains are usually fused via a peptide linker to form a single-chain Fv (scFv) fragment, but in some cases th...
