Abstract:
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) such as benzo[a]pyren mainly induce lung cancer in humans. We characterized the mouse single chain antibody against benzo[a]pyren (pSh). pSh was expressed and purified as cellulose binding domain fusion (pSh-CBD). The pSh-CBD bound five different PAH with high affinity. The 18 amino acid linker connected pSh-CBD heavy and light chains provided correct protein folding. The KDs for pSh-CBD and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were similar to KDs for monoclonal antibody, approximately 10(-8). Separately heavy and light chains of pSh-CBD did not interact with benzo[a]pyren. Previously defined eleven pSh-CBD aa involved to benzo[a]pyren binding were confirmed by mutagenesis.
