AI Article Synopsis

  • A novel four-way ligation method was created to quickly build a full-length antibody library using a specialized mammalian expression vector.
  • This vector included dual expression cassettes and specific sequences for unique restriction enzymes, allowing for efficient insertion of antibody genes.
  • The technique enabled the display of complete bivalent antibodies on cell surfaces and significantly reduced the construction time to just two weeks.

Article Abstract

A unique four-way ligation strategy was developed for rapid construction of a full-length antibody library. A mammalian expression vector was constructed that contained dual mammalian expression cassettes and sequences recognized by the unique restriction enzymes BsmBI, BstXI, and SfiI. Both full-length light-chain and variable domain of heavy-chain genes were inserted into the vector in one step by four-way ligation, and full-length bivalent antibodies were displayed on mammalian cell surfaces. Using this strategy, only 2 weeks were required to successfully construct high-quality, full-length human antibody libraries.

The realization of complex topologies at the molecular level represents a grand challenge in chemistry. This necessitates the manipulation of molecular interactions with high precision. Here we show that single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) knots and links can be created by utilizing the inherent topological properties that pertain to the DNA four-way junction, at which the two helical strands form a node and can be configured conveniently and connected for complex topological construction.

Cytogenetic classification of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is primarily based on numerical and structural chromosomal abnormalities. In T-cell ALL (T-ALL), chromosomal rearrangements are identified in up to 70% of the patients while the remaining patients show a normal karyotype. In the present study, a 16-year-old male was diagnosed with T-precursor cell ALL and a normal karyotype after standard GTG-banding, was studied retrospectively (>10 years after diagnosis) in frame of a research project by molecular approaches.

Hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) is important in the management of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Aiming to develop recombinant monoclonal antibodies as an alternative to HBIG, we report the successful identification of HBV surface antigen (HBsAg)-specific antibodies from a full-length human antibody library displayed on mammalian cell surface. Using total RNA of peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a natively immunized donor as template, the antibody repertoire was amplified.

Orthogonal protein decoration of DNA nanostructures.

Technische Universität Dortmund, Fakultät Chemie, Biologisch-Chemische Mikrostrukturtechnik, Otto-Hahn Str. 6, D-44227 Dortmund.

The development of robust DNA-protein coupling techniques is mandatory for applications of DNA nanostructures in biomedical diagnostics, fundamental biochemistry, and other fields in biomolecular nanosciences. The use of self-labeling fusion proteins, which are orthogonal to biotin-streptavidin and antibody-antigen interactions, is described for the site-selective protein decoration of two exemplary DNA nanostructures: a four-way junction X-tile motif and a 3D DNA tetrahedron. Multifunctional DNA superstructures bearing up to four different proteins are generated and characterized by electrophoresis and microplate-based functionality assays.
