Abstract AIM: Construction and expression of anti-HAAH single chain variable fragment (scFv) by cloning of the variable region genes from anti-HAAH hybridoma cells G3/F11. METHODS: Total RNA was extracted from hybridoma cells G3/F11. By RT
7、-PCR, murine V(H); and V(L); genes of mAb were amplified respectively. Then, They were assembled into V(H);-linker-V(L); scFv template by SOE-PCR and anti-HAAH scFv was express in E.coli by constructed pHEN 1-Anti-HAAH vector. The expression of Anti-HAAH scFv were detected by SDS-PAGE and Western bl
8、otting and the binding activity were demonstrated by ELISA. RESULTS: The analysis of DNA sequencing shown that the full-length of constructed scFv gene was 744 bp, encoding 248 amino acids. Moreover, the V(H); and V(L); genes were functional antibody variable region genes, as there were four FRs and
9、 three CDRs in both of them. By SDS-PAGE and Western blotting, the expression level of Anti-HAAH scFv were detected. The expression level of pHEN 1-Anti-HAAH scFv, which was expressed in E.coli HB2151, was 7.8% in total E.coli protein and were existed in soluble protein mainly. By indirect ELISA det

CONCLUSION: The murine V(H); and V(L); genes of mAb against HAAH have been cloned successfully and anti-HAAH scFv have been constructed and expressed. Besides, the scFv could be further studied about their biolog

Abstract Importance of the field: Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. Despite intense efforts to improve different treatment
18、modalities, mortality rates in advanced cases remain high. Areas covered in the review: EGFR targeting mAb cetuximab (Erbitux) has been approved for the treatment of locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in combination with radiotherapy and for recurrent or metastatic HNSCC.
19、 Here, we review recent scientific advances, as well as future research goals regarding EGFR inhibitors in the treatment of HNSCC. Information was compiled by searching the PubMed, Web of Knowledge and American Society of Clinical Oncology databases for articles published before October 2009. The se

33、factor- production.,Immune regulation of multiple sclerosis by transdermally applied myelin peptides,Abstract Human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) induces the proliferation, differentiation and survival of various cell types including tumor-derived cells. Generally, hEGF performs its biological func
34、tion by binding to a specific receptor (hEGFR) on the cell surface, thereby inducing signal transduction. Suramin, a polysulfonated naphthylurea that acts as a growth factor blocker, exhibits antiproliferative activity against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells that overexpress EGFR on the cel
35、l surface. We determined the solution structure of hEGF under physiological conditions and investigated the interaction of suramin with hEGF using isothermal titration calorimetry and NMR spectroscopy techniques. The solution structure of hEGF presented in this paper is different from the bound form
36、 of hEGF present in the crystal structure of the 2:2 EGF-EGFR complex because its C-tail contains a hydrophobic core. This conformational difference supports the hypothesis that hEGF undergoes a conformational change when it binds to hEGFR and subsequently induces signal transduction. Based on the d
37、ocking structure of the hEGF-suramin complex, we demonstrated how suramin blocks hEGF by binding to its receptor binding site (the C-terminal region around Arg45) and inhibits the crucial conformational change.,The NMR solution structure of human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) at physiological pH an

In this method, human IgG (Ag) is captured on the silanized glass substrate surface, followed by immun
40、oreaction with biotinylated mouse antihuman antibody (BT-Ab). Then, SA-MNBs are attached to the BT-Ab through the biotin/streptavidin interaction at a ratio of 1:1. Subsequently, a 30 base pair double-stranded oligonucleotide terminated with biotin (BT-dsDNA) is conjugated to the SA-MNBs. The result

49、.,Progress in the study of heat shock protein 90 inhibitors,Polyketides are important bioactive natural products biosynthesized by bacteria, fungi, and plants. The enzymes that synthesize polyketides are collectively referred to as polyketide synthases (PKSs). Because many of the natural hosts that produce polyketides are difficult to culture or manipulate, establishing a universal heterologous host that is genetically tractable has become an important goal toward the engineered biosynthesis of polyketides and analogues. Here, we summariz
