Prokaryotic expression and immunogenicity characterization of the single chain variable fragment of anti-idiotype monoclonal antibody against Vibrio alginolyticus

Objective To construct recombinant prokaryotic expression plasmid and characterize immunogenicity of the single chain variable fragment (scFv) of anti-idiotype monoclonal antibody against Vibrio alginolyticus. Methods Total RNA was extracted from hybridoma cell 2F4 secreting mAb against Vibrio alginolyticus, while cDNA was amplified by RT-PCR. The prokaryotic expression vector pET32a-AL was constructed for the recombinant single chain variable fragment expression. The transformed E.coli BL21 cells were propagated and induced by IPTG. The immunogenicity of the fusion protein was determined by using immunized Balb/c mice. Results The scFv gene contained 747 base pairs and encoded 249 amine acid residues; there were four FRs, three CDRs, and two characteristic cysteine residues in the VH and VL gene, respectively. Immunogenicity of scFv was assayed after immunity. All results indicated that the scFv does share a similar immunogenicity with Vibrio alginolyticus. The antigenicity of the fusion protein was shown similar with parental antibody by ELISA. Conclusion The scFv of anti-idiotype monoclonal antibody against shown similar with parental antibody ibrio alginolyticus is constructed successfully and expression products is found in the inclusion bodies. The antigenicity of the fusion protein does share a similar immunogenicity with Vibrio alginolyticus. This scFv may be a new genetically engineered vaccine of the anti-idiotype monoclonal antibody against Vibrio alginolyticus in fishery.
