Abstract-Fragment antigen-binding (Fab) is used for several applications in research. However, overexpression of Fab in E. coli cells often leads to the accumulation of inclusion bodies, which limits the application for Fab production using E. coli expression system. Leucine zipper (LZ) forms a heterodimeric coiled-coil structure, the fusion of which peptides to Fab enhanced correct pairing of Hc and Lc, leading to more efficient formation of active Fab. The new Fab format is named as 'Zipbody'. In this study, we examined various refolding conditions to obtain a high amount of m6FabLZ, a leucine zipper-fused mouse Fab which binds to E. coli O157 and expressed in E.coli BL21 (DE3). The isolated inclusion body was soblubized in 3 M Urea using freeze-thawing method. The yield of purified m6FabLZ was 0.25 g from 1 L culture. The refolded showed a high affinity and specificity toward E. coli O157 in ELISA.
