title: [Construction of phage anti-idiotypic antibody library using sensitized in-vitro B-lymphocytes of nasopharyngeal cancer patients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To construct phage human anti-idiotypic antibody library.
  
  
  METHODS
  Peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) of patients with nasopharyngeal cancer(NPC) were sensitized in-vitro and transformed by Epstein-Barr virus(EBV). V(H) and V(L) genes were re-amplified by PCR and combined to single-chain fragment of variable region(ScFv) genes. ScFv genes were cloned into vector fUSE5 and transformed into MC1061 by electroporation to construct the ScFv-displaying phage library.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Detection of Sandwich ELISA showed that of 10 NPC patients,8 patients' B cells transformed by EBV could produce anti-idiotypic antibodies to NPC. 5 types of V(H) genes and 7 types of V(L) genes were obtained by PCR re-amplification and then connected with (Gly(4)Ser)(3) linker to form 14 types of ScFv genes. ScFv genes digested with Sfi I were cloned into vector fUSE5 and transformed into MC1061 via electroporation. Phage anti-idiotypic antibody library with sink size being 1.1x10(7) was obtained through tetracycline-resistant secreening. The percentage of full-length ScFv gene inserted into phage DNA was 70%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A strategy for preparing human single chain anti-idiotypic antibody by means of phage antibody library technique in combination with EBV transformation technique is feasible.
