Abstract
AIM: To construct a human natural phage single-chain antibody (scFv) library with diversity. METHODS: V(H) and V(L) genes were amplified by RT-PCR and hemi-PCR from peripheral blood lymphocytes of healthy persons. The V genes were assembled to form scFv by overlap PCR and cloned into phagemid pCANTAB-5E, and then transformed into E. coli TG1 by electroporation to construct a human natural phage scFv library. The diversity and gene family of antibody gene were analysed by sequencing and the specific antibodies against various antigens were screened through bio-panning. RESULTS: A human natural phage scFv library with diversity and 2x10(8) sink size was constructed successfully. The specific human scFvs against 5 antigens were obtained by bio-panning. CONCLUSION: A human natural phage scFv library with diversity is constructed successfully and can be applied to human antibody preparation.
