ABSTRACT
Objective:To clone the single chain variable Fv of anti-idiotype monoclonal antibody against vibrio alginolyticus.Methods:Total RNA was extracted from hybridoma cell 2F4 secreting MAb against vibrio alginolyticus and cDNA was amplified by retropolymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR),the expression vector pTAT-AL1 was constructed for the recombinant V_H-V_L expression.The transformed E.coli BL21 cells were propagated and induced by IPTG.Results:The V_H gene contained 369 base pairs and encoded 123 amine acid residues;The V_L gene contained 339 base pairs and encoded 113 amine acid residues;There were four FRs three CDRs and two characteristic cysteine residues in the V_H and V_L gene,respectively.ELISA results showed the ScFv retained almost the same antigen affinity and specificity as its parent monoclonal anitbody.Conclusion:The single chain variable Fv of anti-idiotype monoclonal antibody against vibrio alginolyticus was constructed successfully and expression products was found in the periplasmic space and inclusion bodies.This ScFv might be a new generation of gene engineering vaccine of the anti-idiotype monoclonal antibody against vibrio alginolyticus in fishery.
