Production of Secreted Antibody in Baculovirus Expression Vector System
摘要
Monoclonal antibodies have widespread applications in disease treatment and antigen detection. They are traditionally produced using mammalian cell expression system, which is not able to satisfy the increasing demand of these proteins at large scale. Baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) is an attractive alternative platform for the production of biologically active monoclonal antibodies. In this chapter, we demonstrate the production of an HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibody b12 in BEVS. The processes including transfer vector construction, recombinant baculovirusRecombinant baculovirus generation, and antibody production and detection are described.
