Aim: To express secretively chimeric Fab antibody HAb18 (cFab) against human hepatocellular carcinoma in Pichia pastoris.
Methods: Genes encoding CL chain and Fd fragment of cFab antibody HAb18 were subcloned into vectors pPIC9K and pPICZalphaA, respectively. After confirmed by DNA sequence analysis, the recombinant plasmids pPIC9K/CL and pPICZalphaA/Fd were transformed into the genome of Pichia pastoris GS115. Mut(+) multiple insert transformants were screened by G418 and Zeocin and then induced with 5 mL/L methanol to express cFab.
Results: 4 days after methanol induction, 26 mg/L of the cFab fragment was detected in the culture supernatant. Western blot proved that the expressed protein could specifically bind with HAb18GEF antigen.
Conclusion: The successful expression of cFab/HAb18 in Pichia pastoris lays the foundation for large-scale production and further application of the antibody.

CD147 is a T cell activation-associated molecule which is closely involved in the formation of the immune synapse (IS). However, the precise role of CD147 in T cell activation and IS formation remains unclear. In the present study, we demonstrated that CD147 translocated to the IS upon T cell activation and was primarily distributed in the peripheral super molecular cluster (p-SMAC).

CD161 is used as a surrogate marker for Th17 cells, which are implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study, we evaluated the percentage, clinical significance, and CD98 and CD147 expression of CD4CD161 T cells. The potential role of CD147 and CD98 in cyclophilin A-induced chemotaxis of CD4CD161 T cells was analyzed.

The immunoglobulin superfamily member CD147 is a widely expressed glycoprotein that occurs in both a membrane‑spanning and soluble form. Sandwich ELISA is a powerful tool for analyzing soluble antigens. The aim of the present study was to obtain a highly specific polyclonal antibody against human CD147 that can be used for sandwich ELISA analysis.
