Research Abstract |
In our work, cloning of the variable region of human antibodies directed to B-antigen in ABO blood group, and production of the recombinant Fab fragment in Escherichia coli cells were carried out. After the culture of peripheral lymphocyte transformed by Epstein-Barr virus, specific antibody-producing cells were screened by ELISA and flowcytometry. After reverse transcription-PCR using subclass-specific primers, cDNA library was constructed and screened with a plasmid vector, pFab-His2, in the E. coli expression system. Two clones specifically reacted with B-antigen in ELISA and hemagglutination. Their nucleotide sequence of the heavy and light chains of the anti-B human antibodies was determined to be V_L1 and V_H4, respectively, in the immunoglobulin subgroup. The recombinant antibodies to the blood group antigen structure may be adaptable for phenotyping, which will provide a valuable means for forensic applications.
