Recombinant Single-chain Antibodies Preparation Related Issues

I. How to prepare sufficiently pure single-chain antibodies on a large scale in an economical and efficient manner?

1. Choose a suitable expression host system: According to the characteristics and requirements of single-chain antibodies, choose a suitable expression host system. For relatively simple single-chain antibody structures, microbial expression systems such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) and yeast (yeast) can prepare large-scale single-chain antibodies more economically and efficiently. For complex proteins that require correct folding conformation and/or post-transcriptional modifications such as glycosylation, mammalian cell expression systems may be an inevitable choice.

2. Optimize expression conditions and processes: By optimizing expression conditions and processes, the yield and purity of single-chain antibodies can be improved. For example, optimizing the culture conditions of the expression host system, selecting appropriate inducers and culture time, etc., can increase the yield of single-chain antibodies. In addition, reasonable design and engineering of the molecular construction of single-chain antibodies can improve their stability and downstream recovery effects, which is beneficial to the yield and function of the final product.

3. Choose a suitable purification method: The use of highly selective purification methods such as affinity purification can effectively improve the purity of single-chain antibodies. However, for large-scale production, the sustainability of affinity purification methods (such as scale and cost) still needs further study. Therefore, the design and sequence of purification steps need to be optimized to achieve higher overall production efficiency.

II. How to optimize the expression and yield of single-chain antibodies to meet the needs of clinical applications?

1. Optimize expression conditions and processes: The expression level of single-chain antibodies can be improved by adjusting conditions such as culture medium components, temperature, pH value, oxygen supply, etc. In addition, the selection of appropriate inducers and induction time, as well as the optimization of culture time and culture density, can also increase the yield.

2. Select a suitable expression host system: According to the characteristics and requirements of single-chain antibodies, select a suitable expression host system. For example, mammalian systems can meet the biological requirements of single-chain antibodies, but the cost is high; while systems such as Escherichia coli and yeast have the advantages of simple genetic manipulation, rapid culture growth and low cost. Selecting a suitable host system according to the specific situation can increase the yield and reduce the cost.

3. Optimize purification methods: Selecting a suitable purification method can improve the purity and yield of single-chain antibodies. Affinity chromatography is a commonly used purification method. Appropriate affinity matrices and conditions can be selected to improve purification efficiency. In addition, other purification methods such as ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, etc. can also be considered to meet the purity requirements of clinical applications.

4. Further optimize the process flow: By integrating different processing steps and reducing processing complexity, the process efficiency can be improved.

III. How to improve the recovery rate and purity of single-chain antibodies in downstream processing to achieve the feasibility of commercial production?

1. Optimize culture conditions: Rationally adjust fermentation conditions such as culture medium composition, ventilation, pre-induced osmotic stress, inducer composition and temperature to improve the yield and quality of single-chain antibodies.

2. Optimize the culture system: Select a suitable expression host system, such as yeast, mammalian cells or insect cells, and select the best expression host system according to the sequence of the single-chain antibody and the final application.

3. Optimize the culture medium: By adjusting the composition of the culture medium, the stability of the single-chain antibody can be improved, thereby increasing the overall yield.

4. Process optimization: During downstream processing, the purification steps are rationally designed and optimized to minimize product losses and improve purity and recovery.

5. Design and engineering of molecular construction: During the molecular construction of single-chain antibodies, sufficient a priori design and engineering are carried out, combined with a good biophysical understanding of single-chain antibody molecules, to improve product stability and downstream recovery effects, thereby facilitating the yield and function of the final product.

It should be noted that different single-chain antibodies may have different requirements for expression host systems and culture conditions, so in actual operation, optimization and adjustment are required according to specific circumstances.
