title: Preparation of humanized ovarian carcinoma anti-idiotypic minibody.
abstract: Murine anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody (MAb) 6B11 mimicking the tumor-associated antigen OC166-9 is used as a vaccine for the induction of an anti-tumoral immunity in experiments of in vitro and in vivo animal model with ovarian carcinoma. In this article, we have humanized 6B11 anti-idiotypic minibody using overlap polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA recombinant technique, prokaryotic expression vector was produced by genetic fusion of 6B11V(L)-V(H) to human IgG1 hinge and CH3 region. Transformed E. coli BL21(DE3) were propagated and induced by isopropyl-beta D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) showed that a protein band with molecular weight of 50kD appeared as the expected size after transformation. Molecular weight of 100 kDa may be examined by electrophoresis in nondenaturing systems. The fusion protein was analyzed with enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA), inhibition ELISA tests and Western blot, respectively. The humanized anti-idiotype minibody showed capacity of bivalent binding to ovarian cancer MAb COC166-9 and goat anti-human immunoglobulin IgG1. It is useful reagents for clinical use.
