Amplification of human immunoglobulin has many potential applications such as analysis of clonality, isolation of immunogenic antigens and antigen-specific immunotherapy. Here we describe a method for amplification of human immunoglobulin heavy and light chains from single B lymphocytes or plasma cells. Cells are isolated by FACS, and Ig is amplified by semi-nested RT-PCR. The method is versatile, sensitive and reliable: it provides appropriately paired heavy and light chains, requiring as little as 2 days to produce amplified Fab DNA from human tissues.
人免疫球蛋白的扩增有许多潜在应用,如克隆性分析、免疫原性抗原的分离和抗原特异性免疫治疗。在此,我们描述一种从单个B淋巴细胞或浆细胞中扩增产人免疫球蛋白重链和轻链的方法。通过荧光激活细胞分选术(FACS)分离细胞,并用半巢式逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)扩增免疫球蛋白。该方法用途广泛、灵敏且可靠:它能提供适当配对的重链和轻链,从人组织中产生扩增的Fab DNA只需短短2天时间。
