Human monoclonal antibody cloning and expression with overlap extension PCR and short DNA fragments
Monoclonal antibodies are powerful therapeutic, diagnostic, and research tools. Methods utilized to generate monoclonal antibodies are evolving rapidly. We created a transfectable linear antibody expression cassette from a 2-h high-fidelity overlapping PCR reaction from synthesized DNA fragments. We coupled heavy and light chains into a single linear sequence with a promoter, self-cleaving peptide, and poly(A) signal to increase the flexibility of swapping variable regions from any sequence available in silico. Transfection of the linear cassette tended to generate similar levels to the two-plasmid system and generated an average of 47 μg (14–98 μg) after 5 days in 2 ml cultures with 15 unique antibody sequences. The levels of antibodies produced were sufficient for most downstream applications in less than a week. The method presented here reduces the time, cost, and complexity of cloning steps.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Immunological Methods is devoted to covering techniques for: (1) Quantitating and detecting antibodies and/or antigens. (2) Purifying immunoglobulins, lymphokines and other molecules of the immune system. (3) Isolating antigens and other substances important in immunological processes. (4) Labelling antigens and antibodies. (5) Localizing antigens and/or antibodies in tissues and cells. (6) Detecting, and fractionating immunocompetent cells. (7) Assaying for cellular immunity. (8) Documenting cell-cell interactions. (9) Initiating immunity and unresponsiveness. (10) Transplanting tissues. (11) Studying items closely related to immunity such as complement, reticuloendothelial system and others. (12) Molecular techniques for studying immune cells and their receptors. (13) Imaging of the immune system. (14) Methods for production or their fragments in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
In addition the journal will publish articles on novel methods for analysing the organization, structure and expression of genes for immunologically important molecules such as immunoglobulins, T cell receptors and accessory molecules involved in antigen recognition, processing and presentation. Submitted full length manuscripts should describe new methods of broad applicability to immunology and not simply the application of an established method to a particular substance - although papers describing such applications may be considered for publication as a short Technical Note. Review articles will also be published by the Journal of Immunological Methods. In general these manuscripts are by solicitation however anyone interested in submitting a review can contact the Reviews Editor and provide an outline of the proposed review.
