| description | Helminth parasite infections are significantly impacting global health, with more than two
billion infections worldwide with a high morbidity rate. The complex life cycle of the nematodes
has made host immune response studies against these parasites extremely difficult. In this study,
we utilized two phage antibody libraries; the immune and naïve library were used to identify single
chain fragment variable (scFv) clones against a specific filarial antigen (BmR1). The V-gene analysis of
isolated scFv clones will help shed light on preferential VDJ gene segment usage against the filarial
BmR1 antigen in healthy and infected states. The immune library showed the usage of both lambda
and kappa light chains. However, the naïve library showed preferential use of the lambda family
with different amino acid distributions. The binding characteristics of the scFv clones identified
from this work were analyzed by immunoassay and immunoaffinity pull down of BmR1. The work
highlights the antibody gene usage pattern of a naïve and immune antibody library against the same
antigen as well as the robust nature of the enriched antibodies for downstream applications. |
