ABOUT

Heavy chain constant region expression plasmid - Human IgG4 - Lucia tag

pFUSE-Lucia-CHIg-hG4 is a cloning plasmid that expresses the   constant region of the human IgG4 heavy chain. It contains a   multiple cloning site upstream of the constant region   to enable cloning  of the heavy chain variable region.

This plasmid is   designed for antibody generation when co-transfected into mammalian cells with the light chain variable region cloned into pFUSE-CLIg.

pFUSE-Lucia-CHIg-hG4 contain  the secreted luciferase (Lucia) gene upstream of the MCS and the CH  region to serve as a tag to facilitate the detection and quantification  of recombinant antibodies.

All products are for internal research use only, and not for human or veterinary use.

2- Luciferase activity of Lucia-tagged anti-hTNF-α antibodies.

Luciferase activity of Lucia-tagged anti-hTNF-a antibodies

 

CHO cells were stably co-transfected with a heavy chain expressing plasmid, pFUSE-Lucia-TNF-CHIg-hA2m1 (TNF-CHIg-hA2m1) or pFUSE-Lucia-TNF-CHIg-hG1 (TNF-CHIg-hG1) and a light chain expressing plasmid, pFUSE2-TNF-CLIg-hk (TNF-CLIg-hk) to generate Lucia-tagged anti-hTNF-α antibodies, Lucia-anti-hTNF-α-hIgA2m1and Lucia-anti-hTNF-α-hIgG1, of human IgAm2 and human IgG1 isotypes, respectively. pFUSE2-CLIg-hk (CLIg-hk), which expresses no VL, and pSELECT-blasti-mcs (mcs) were used as negative controls. Supernatants
were collected and the luciferase levels determined using QUANTI-Luc™. Only the cells co-producing a Lucia-anti-hTNF-α heavy-chain and an anti-hTNF-α light chain displayed luciferase activity.

 

3- Neutralizing activity of anti-hTNF-a antibodies

Neutralizing activity of anti-hTNF-alpha antibodies

The activity of anti-hTNF-α-hIgA2m1 and Lucia-anti-hTNF-α-hIgA2m1 antibodies, purified from the supernatants of CHO transfected cells, was determined by performing an TNF-α neutralizing assay. Both antibodies display similar neutralizing activities, thus fusion of the Lucia luciferase tag at the N-terminus of the heavy chain does not alter the functionality of the antibody.
