Abstract
Three combinatorial libraries were constructed from unpurified, CD19(+), and antithyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) B cells extracted from thyroid tissue of Graves' disease patients. Fifteen of the 41 randomly derived anti-TPO single chain variable region fragments (scFvs), showed VH1-3/V lambda 1-51 or VH1-69/V lambda 1-40 heavy/light chain pairing similar to that obtained with TPO-specific scFv derived from an in-cell library. One VH1-3/V lambda 1-51 scFv, A16, showed exactly the same nucleotide sequence as in-cell scFv ICB7, demonstrating that in vivo rearrangement can be obtained from a random combinatorial library. The majority of the scFvs used a heavy chain gene derived from the VH1-3 gene segment, whereas the light chain gene segments used were more heterogeneous, with dominance of the V kappa 1-39 and V lambda 1-51 gene segments. The anti-TPO scFvs showed high affinities to TPO, with values between 0.77 and 12.3 nM, and defined seven antigenic regions on the TPO molecule. The anti-TPO fragments, particularly VH1-3/V lambda 1-51 randomly associated scFv B4, which mimic natural H/L pairing, and VH1-3/V lambda 1-40 in-cell-derived scFv ICA5, efficiently displaced the TPO binding of serum autoantibodies from 20 Graves' disease ...Continue Reading
