Characterization of a Broadly Specific LPS-Neutralizing Single Domain Antibody
Abstract: Gram negative endotoxaemia or sepsis remains a lethal challenge to humans and animals, globally. Single domain antibodies (dAbs) have emerged as therapeutic biologics for challenging antigens such as lipopolysachharide (LPS). The present study characterized a broadly specific LPS-neutralising dAb produced from phage display library from LPS-immunized Indian desert camel, for its sequence validation with mass spectrometry. Also, the dAb clone 26 was subjected to co-crystallisation with LPS, extracted from E. …

A Single-domain Antibody Cross-reacts with Lipopolysaccharide from Diverse Gram-negative Bacteria
Abstract: Gram-negative bacterial sepsis and endotoxemia are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in animals and humans worldwide, and attempts have continued to design rational therapies. Endotoxin/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-neutralizing polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies have been produced, but are not free from problems. Single-domain antibodies (dAbs), constructed from the camelid and the shark ‘heavy chain antibodies’ by phage display technology possess favorable features for in vivo applications. The objective of this study …

Production of Single-domain Antibodies Library by Phage Display Technology
Abstract: Single-domain antibodies (dAbs) are synthesized from variable domain gene-segments of atypical camelid or shark “heavy chain antibodies” (HCAbs) by phage display technology. We have constructed a phage display library of > 5 × 107 dAb clones derived from HCAb genes in B lymphocyte repertoire of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-immunized Indian desert camel and isolated dAb-phage clones by panning of the library against LPS and Staphylococcus aureus exotoxins. Nucleotide and deduced amino-acid …

Isolation and Characterization of “Heavy Chain Antibody” Variable Domain Gene of Indian Desert Camel (Camelus dromedarius, L.)
Abstract: Camelids have “heavy chain antibodies” (HCAbs) of IgG isotype (IgG2 and IgG3 subtypes) and lack light chains and heavy chain constant domain 1 (CH1) in their structure. The molecular biological features of VHH (i.e., antigen binding variable domain of HCAbs) gene isolated from Indian desert camel were examined as a prelude to construct VHHs-phage display library. VHH cDNA was synthesized by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from B lymphocyte mRNA, …
