Construction of Anti-CD3 Human/Murine Chimeric Antibody Genes for Expression in Mammalian Cells / 中国肿瘤生物治疗杂志

ABSTRACT

For construction of anti-CD3 human/murine chimeric antibody genes, a selective first-strand cDNA synthesis from mRNA or RNA of murine McAb HIT3a was performed using murine Ig constant region primers, and then cDNA of heavy and light chain variable domains of murine immunoglobulin were amplified by PCR using a set of degenerated oligonucleotide primers. Using these cDNA fragments as probes, the L and H chain V region exons encoding the murine McAb anti-CD3 were isolated from the gene library of HIT3a DNA and inserted into mammalian expression vectors containing the human ? and yl constant region exons for construction of human/murine chimeric antibody genes.
