The 4-1BB is a surface glycoprotein that pertains to the tumor necrosis factor–receptor family. There is compelling evidence suggesting important roles for 4-1BB in the immune response, including cell activation and proliferation and also cytokine induction. Because of encouraging results of different agonistic monoclonal antibodies against 4-1BB in the treatment of cancer, infectious, and autoimmune diseases, 4-1BB has been suggested as an attractive target for immunotherapy. In this study, single chain variable fragment phage display libraries, Tomlinson I+J, were screened against specific synthetic oligopeptides (peptides I and II) designed from 4-1BB extracellular domain. Five rounds of panning led to selection of four 4-1BB specific single chain variable fragments (PI.12, PI.42, PII.16, and PII.29) which showed specific reaction to relevant peptides in phage enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The selected clones were successfully expressed in Escherichia coli Rosetta-gami 2, and their expression was confirmed by western blot analysis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay experiments indicated that these antibodies were able to specifically recognize 4-1BB without any cross-reactivity with other antigens. Flow cytometry analysis demonstrated an acceptable specific binding of the single chain variable fragments to 4-1BB expressed on CCRF-CEM cells, while no binding was observed with an irrelevant antibody. Anti-4-1BB single chain variable fragments enhanced surface CD69 expression and interleukin-2 production in stimulated CCRF-CEM cells which confirmed the agonistic effect of the selected single chain variable fragments. The data from this study have provided a rationale for further experiments involving the biological functions of anti-4-1BB single chain variable fragments in future studies.

A novel gene, testes-specific protease 50 ( TSP50), is abnormally activated and differentially expressed in most patients with breast cancer, suggesting it as a novel biomarker for this disease. The possibility that TSP50 may be an oncogene is presently under investigation. In this study, the single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) against TSP50 were panned from a phage display antibody library using TSP50-specific peptide, pep-50, as a target antigen. After 4 rounds of panning, 3 clones (A1, A11, and C8) from the library were verified to show strong binding affinities for TSP50 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and to contain the variable region genes of the light and heavy chains of scFv antibodies but different complementary determining regions by sequencing. The genes of scFv-A1 and scFv-A11 were cloned into expression vector pPELB and successfully expressed as a soluble protein in Escherichia coli Rosetta. The yields of expressions were about 4.0 to 5.0 mg of protein from 1 L of culture. The expressed proteins were purified by a 2-step procedure consisting of ion-exchange chromatography, followed by immobilized metal affinity chromatography. The purified proteins were shown a single band at the position of 31 KDa on sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Sandwich ELISA demonstrated that the expressed scFv proteins were able to specifically react with pep-50, laying a foundation for the investigation of the function of TSP50 in the development and treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract Sugar beet is one of the most important industrial crops in Iran. For the last two decades it has been mainly affected by a destructive virus, beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV). The Polymyxa betae is the only natural transmitting agent of the disease among the plants. Developing accurate diagnostic methods may have a major impact on the rising of resistant germplasms. In the present study, specific monoclonal recombinant antibodies in the form of single chain variable fragments (scFv) were obtained from naïve phage display libraries. The fungus specific glutathione-S-transferase (GST) protein was chosen as an antigen for developing antibodies and diagnostic purposes. To generate specific scFv, screening of Tomlinson phage display libraries was performed by applying both recombinant and native fungal GST. Using the recombinant GST in the panning process resulted in the isolation of an antibody only bound to recombinant GST but it failed to detect native GST in the infected plants. Alternatively, the process of panning was carried out by applying native fungal GST trapped to immunotubes through specific polyclonal antibody intermediate. The recent approach resulted in the selection of a specific scFv binding to native GST which was able to detect the presence of the fungi within infected plants. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the generation of recombinant antibodies against Polymyxa betae, fungal vector of sugar beet rhizomania disease.
