Abstract

The aim of this study was to construct a plasmid expressing glycoprotein IIb-IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa) and D-dimer single-chain bispecific antibody for the targeted therapy of thrombosis. The phosphorylated gene encoding the anti-GPIIb/IIIa single-chain variable fragment (scFv) and the gene encoding the anti-D-dimer scFv were amplified by PCR and linked in tandem by blunt-end ligation. The recombinant plasmid was transfected into the competent cell line HB2151 and identified by PCR and DNA sequencing. Then, the soluble recombinant antibody in bacterial lysates was purified by an NTA column and molecular sieve chromatography in turn. Finally, the binding specificity of the purified antibody was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results demonstrated that the construction of the expression plasmid was successful and the purified recombinant protein, which had a molecular weight of ~56 kDa, was specifi c to GPIIb/IIIa and D-dimer. In conclusion, a plasmid expressing a bispecific antibody was constructed by a new method of blunt-end ligation. The soluble recombinant protein is a promising platform for target-oriented thrombolytic therapy.
