Aim. The obtaining of bioaffinity sorbent based on the immobilized protein A of S. aureus (SPA) using two cellulose-binding domains (CBD), and its application for purification of antibodies. Methods. The DNA sequences encoding SPA and two CBD were genetically fused, expressed in the high-productive Escherichia coli system and the protein SPA-CBD2 was obtained in a soluble form. The SPA-CBD2 fusion protein was affinity immobilized on the microcrystalline cellulose. Results. Capacity of bioaffinity sorbent (1 mg SPA-CBD2/1 ml CC31-cellulose), dynamic capacity (3 mg mouse IgG/1 ml bioaffinity sorbent), efficiency and stability during prolonged storage were determined. The bioffinity sorbent was used for purification of antibodies. The purity of antibodies in eluted fractions was more than 95 %. The purified antibodies detected target antigens with a high sensitivity. Conclusions. The designed bioaffinity sorbent provides obtaining pure poly- and monoclonal antibodies in functionally active form and can be useful for the fractionation of mouse immunoglobulin G
Antibodies against cell-surface proteins play an important role in cell detection, separation and determination of differentiation stage. The globular structure of extracellular region of cell-surface antigens is frequently characterized by heavily glycosilation and/or is stabilized by disulphide bonds. In this case the obtaining of antibodies against such proteins is a substantive problem. Aim. The development of strategy for obtaining recombinant antibodies against cell-surface biomarkers. Methods. The research strategy is based on the construction of cDNA library of VH and VL genes of animals, immunized with recombinant antigen, and subsequent cell-based biopanning for the library enrichment with desired phage clones. High-throughput automated systems were used for the detection and isolation of antigen-specific clones. Results. We have obtained a panel of five antibodies that recognize an antigen on CD34+ cell surface using the methods of immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry. Conclusions. The proposed strategy may be used for obtaining antibodies against cell-surface antigen
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
