title: Reconstruction and expression of chimeric anti-HBx antibody in Escherichia coli.
abstract: The variable regions of murine monoclonal anti-HBx immunoglobulin and the constant region of human antibody were cloned by reverse transcript-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The heavy-chain and light-chain variable regions were connected and coexpressed with human constant region C-r3 and C-k3 in the reconstructed vector of E. coli. The products showed high specificity and binding ability with HBx. Which is closely associated with hepatocarcinogenesis. This makes it possible to humanize the mouse monoclonal antibodies and express the fusion protein in E.coli for potential radioimmunotherapy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
