The concentration of HCC in serum samples
Assay as the reference. The concentration of HCC in serum samples measured by the commercialized kit was 0.63 g/ml, while the DAS-ELISA could detect the serum levels of 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1000 fold dilution. The precision of the DAS-ELISA was calculated with the intra-variability at 30,Results The gene encoding HCC construct prokaryotic expression vector Pet-32a-HCC was cloned and expressed in prokaryotic system. The Figure 1A,B demonstrated the protein expression in insoluble inclusion bodies about 80 . R-HCC was obtained at a concentration of 2.377 mg/ml and the molecular weight of 17KD, of which the purity was more than 95 (Figure 1C) for McAbs and VHHs. Table 1 shows the titer of sera from mice, of which two mice were more suitable as a mouse hybridoma fusion after four injections of R-HCC. Of hybridoma McAbs, McAbs 5 F2, 4E4, or 1E11 had high affinity with the coefficients at 2.258-9, 2.975-8, or 3.622-9, respectively. The antibody heavy chain is chain subclasses (IgG1), while light chain subclasses are chains (Table 2). The steric orthe same decision epitopes of HCC was identified in those McAbs. Ten monoclonal colonies with the highest absorptiometry were picked from the third round and the fourthTable 1 Detection of mouse serum antibody titers by ELISA kitNumber of mice #1 #2 PubMed ID:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8086425 #3 #4 Titer 128,000 256,000 128,000 256,Jiang et al.

Six different sequences numbered 32, 3-24, 3-30, 3-33, numbered 4-5, 4-8, were obtained, respectively, as shown in Table 3. The VHH genes were expressed in the prokaryotic system and purified. VHH 3-2, 3-24, 3-33, 4-5 could recognize the N-HCC specifically, with the highest affinity for 3-2 (Figure 2A), while VHH 3-30, 4-8 PubMed ID:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7780048 did not (Figure 1D). The paired results by sandwich ELISA between McAbs 5 F2, 4E4, or 1E11 were negative. The paired results between McAbs and VHHs (phages) demonstrated that McAb 5 F2 and VHH 3-2, 4-5 (VHH phages P-3-2 and P-4-5) were paired to detect HCC, and showed optimal effects (Figure 2B). The optimal coating concentration of 5 F2 and the optimal detection dilution of P-3-2 were 5 g/ml and 1000 times. DAS-ELISA for HCC was established with the self-made McAbs and VHHs. The prepared McAbs 5 F2 and VHH phages P-3-2 or P-4-5 were applied for the development of the measurement. The optimal effect was achieved with the minimum detection of 0.5 ng/ml and the linear range of 0.5 30 ng/ml. The accuracy measured by 2-(2,4-Dichloro-5-fluorophenyl)oxirane adding HCC to the urine was listed in Table 4, and the precision measured by adding HCC to serum was shown in Figure 2C,D.Table 3 Selection of VHH antibodies against HCCNumber of clone 3-2 3-24 3-30 3-33 4-5 4-8 Number of clone 3-2 3-24 3-30 3-33 4-5 4-8 FR1 MADVQLQASGGGLVQAGGSLRLSCAAS MADVQLQASGGGLVQPGGSLRLSCAVS MADVQLQASGGGLVQAGGSLRLSCAAS MAEVQLQASGGGLVQPGGSLRLSCAAS MAEVQLQASGGGLVQPGGSLRLSCAA MAEVQLQASGGGLVQPGGSLRLSCAAS FRDiscussion Cystain C, a 120 amino acid peptide chain with approximate 13KD, belongs to the family of papain-like cysteine proteases and has th.
