Aim: To study the renaturation, purification and binding activity of scFv of anti-nasopharyngeal carcinoma monoclonal antibody(mAb) BAC(5) expressed as inclusion body in E.coli.
Methods: The E.coli BL21(DE3) transformed with the pET 22b-scFv was cultured and pulvereged by ultrasonic cell disintegrator. The collected inclusion bodies were denatured with 8 mol/L urea and renatured by dilution refolding, step dialysis and gel filtration chromatography. Binding activity of renatured BAC(5)-scFv was determined by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot.
Results: BAC(5)-scFv purified though Ni-NTA His Bind chromatographic clomn showed high purity. The highest proteins recovery rate was obtained through gel filtration chromatography. It was proved by Western blot and immunocytochemical staining that the renatured BAC(5)-scFv protein could specifically bind to CNE2 cells.
Conclusion: BAC(5)-scFv expressed as inclusion body retained good activity after being dissolved, purified and renatured, which paves the way for preparing large amount of BAC(5)-scFv to be used for the study of radioimmunoimaging and therapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) manifests progressive muscular dystrophy and non-progressive central nervous disorder. The neural disorder is possibly caused by abnormalities in the developmental period; however, basic research to understand the mechanisms remains underdeveloped. The responsible gene, Dmd (dystrophin), generates multiple products derived from several gene promoters.

The Cell-Free Protein Synthesis (CFPS) is an innovative technique used to produce various proteins. It has several advantages, including short expression times, no strain engineering is required, and toxic proteins such as membrane proteins can be produced. However, the most important advantage is that it eliminates the need for a living cell as a production system.

Introduction: Mobile-bearing (MB) inserts, designed to minimize aseptic loosening and to reduce contact stresses leading to polyethylene wear, are an alternative to fixed-bearing (FB) inserts. Most studies have shown no significant difference between MB and FB constructs, and there is limited long-term data comparing the two constructs [1,2,3,4]. The purpose of this study was to report the outcomes of a randomized controlled trial comparing MB versus FB inserts on patients with minimum 20-year follow-up.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by fibrillar neuronal inclusions containing aggregated α-synuclein (α-Syn). While the pathology of PD is multifaceted, the aggregation of α-Syn and mitochondrial dysfunction are well-established hallmarks in its pathogenesis. Recently, TFE3, a transcription factor, has emerged as a regulator of autophagy and metabolic processes.
