Abstract:
To construct expressive vector for human ScFv against core protein of hepatitis C virus (HCV core ScFv),and to express soluble HCV core ScFv in E.coli JM109. Using phage display technique, the recombinant phages were panned by recombinant core antigen which was coated in a microtiter plate, and after five rounds of biopanning, 86 clones were identified specific to core antigen. 750 bp fragment could be released from the plasmid of positive phage clones, and the sequence analysis indicated that we have obrained the ScFv DNA fragment. Then DNA fragment was inserted into the expressive vector pCANTAB5E, and E. coli host JM109 was transformed and induced by IPTG. The specificity of ScFv in the culture medium was evaluated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The molecular weight of expressed HCV core ScFv protein is 28 000 dalton as determined with the aid of SDS polyacrymide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The expressed HCV core ScFv protein will be useful in the immunohistochemical study of liver tissue from patients with hepatitis C and gene therapy against HCV infection.
