SCREENING AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HUMAN PHAGE ANTIBODY TO HEPATITIS C VIRUS E2 ANTIGEN / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

To screen and characterize human phage antibody to hepatitis C virus E2 antigen. The recombinant phages were panned by HCV E2 antigen which was coated in a microwell plate. After three rounds of biopanning, 56 clones specific to HCV E2 antigen were obtained. The specificity of scFv was determined by ELISA method and cross reaction with BSA and competitive inhibition assay. HCV E2 phage antibody had a specific combination character with recombinant hepatitis C virus E2 antigen. The DNA sequence data showed that the scFv coding gene was 771bp in size
