Abstract: | The size reduction is an important issue in the biomedical application of antibody and single domain antibody fragment is recognized as very attractive tool. However, it is very time-consuming and laborious to generate the fragment antibody with targeted binding function. Here, we investigated the possibility to prepare single domain antibody (sdAb) by a simple grafting method based on stable human consensus framework sequences. The complementarity determining region sequences in VH domain of anti-c-Met scFv from rabbit were grafted with the human VH3 consensus framework sequences, which generated the anti-c-Met single domain antibody showing almost same binding activity to its scFv form. The generated single domain antibody could be produced as functional form in oxidizing cytoplasm of E. coli, but produced as inactive form in reducing cytoplasm. The structural analysis of the homology models gave us the insight on the stability of the single domain antibody. In this report, we have demonstrated that the very stable human consensus framework sequence can be used for the generation of active anti-c-Met sdAb via complementarity determining regions grafting. We expect that this kind of grafting method for the generation of sdAb may provide us with the opportunities to prepare sdAbs based on the known antibody sequences. |
