Monoclonal antibodies and antibody fragments are used for diverse diagnostic and therapeutic applications. We have investigated the secretory production of Fab fragments from insect cells cotransfected with plasmid vectors carrying heavy- and light-chain genes. In the present study, to promote the formation of the disulfide bond between the heavy and light chains, some positively charged amino acid residues were introduced near the cysteine residue for the disulfide bond at the C-terminus of C, while some negatively charged amino acid residues were added near the cysteine residue for the disulfide bond at the C-terminus of C. This electrostatic steering led to an increase in Fab secretions from insect cells.
单克隆抗体和抗体片段被用于多种诊断和治疗应用。我们研究了用携带重链和轻链基因的质粒载体共转染的昆虫细胞中Fab片段的分泌产生。在本研究中,为促进重链和轻链之间二硫键的形成,在C末端形成二硫键的半胱氨酸残基附近引入了一些带正电荷的氨基酸残基,同时在C末端形成二硫键的半胱氨酸残基附近添加了一些带负电荷的氨基酸残基。这种静电引导导致昆虫细胞中Fab分泌增加。
