To be employed in immunotherapy, the scFv fragment needs to be reformatted into the complete IgG structure with a native-like conformation and expressed in mammalian cells. In this context, we have established an expression system for reformatting scFv fragments into complete IgG1 molecules, enabling both antibody chains to be cloned within the same vector.

For <em>in vivo</em> imaging, we have designed vectors with specific mutations in the IgG1 lower hinge region and C<sub>H</sub>2 domain to impede the antibody's effector function, ensuring that immune cells are not activated. The efficiency of this expression system was evaluated by producing two antibodies: one with the lambda light chain and the other with the kappa light chain.

Serological tests are the most widely used methods to detect dengue infection due to low cost and operational simplicity. The detection of antibodies (IgM and IgG) in the blood of an infected individual is an indirect method of diagnosing DENV and IgG can be used as long-term detection. The aim of this work was to develop and validate an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of anti-DENV IgG antibodies, and to determine its usefulness in the diagnosis and seroepidemiological survey of DENV.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Materials and methods&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The production of the antigen was carried out using the tetravalent DENV E protein-based provided by Trebe Biotech. The recombinant baculovirus was obtained using the Bac to Bac® baculovirus expression system. The recombinant tetravalent dengue antigen was expressed in insect larvae, purified by IMAC and identified by SDS-PAGE and western blot analysis. The system used in this work has the advantage of using insect pests as biofactories. Recombinant protein production is high-yield and production times are short. Furthermore, it has no product size limit and is highly flexible to sequence changes or the emergence of new serotypes. An indirect ELISA was developed using purified tetravalent DENV antigen immobilized on polystyrene microplates; human sera samples from individuals with no history of DENV infection (&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 22) and human sera samples from individuals with clinical history and diagnosed of DENV infection (&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 23) were then incubated. Immune complexes were revealed with anti-human IgG-Horseradish Peroxidase. Results were calculated as specific absorbance and expressed as standard deviation scores: SDs. In order to establish DENV-IgG seroprevalence, the developed ELISA was applied to analyze samples from blood donor centers from different geographic regions of the country (&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 504) and normal human sera (&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 17).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The efficiently produced recombinant dengue antigen was used for the development and validation of a high sensitivity (91.30 %) and specificity (90.91 %) indirect ELISA for the detection of anti-DENV IgG antibodies. The ROC curves demonstrated that this method had high accuracy to distinguish between samples from normal control individuals and patients with DENV (AUC = 0.9901); the cut-off value was established at 2 SDs. In the assessment of seroprevalence levels of anti-DENV antibodies, 33 out of 504 analyzed samples (6.55 %) tested positive using our developed ELISA.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Conclusions&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;This technique is rap","PeriodicalId":16000,"journal":{"name":"Journal of immunological methods","volume":"542 ","pages":"Article 113887"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144187132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
