scFv Antibody Development Services
TekBiotech is committed to providing customers with high-affinity and high-specificity antibody drug early discovery technology services, and providing strong support for customers' subsequent CAR-T/CAR-NK lead sequence design, antibody humanization, drug target antibody development, bispecific antibody development, and efficient blocking neutralizing antibody development and other downstream R&D work. TekBiotech has 10 years of project development experience and experience in drug antibody discovery, and can provide customers with high-quality scFv discovery services for targets including but not limited to proteins, peptides, small molecules, viruses, membrane proteins, and mRNA from different species (rabbit, mouse, human, etc.).
█ scFv Antibody Development Technology Services
TekBiotech can provide customers with scFv antibody library construction and screening services. The primer combination PCR technology is used to obtain the germline gene fragments of the antibody VH region and VL region (Kappa and lambda chain) in different species. After obtaining the scFv antibody by overlapping PCR method, it is inserted into the N-terminus of the P3 protein of the M13 phage, so that the scFv antibody gene is displayed on the phage surface along with the expression of the P3 protein. Finally, the scFv antibody binding to the target antigen is screened out by a screening method similar to "fishing". Compared with yeast antibody display technology, the scFv format has high requirements for library capacity and diversity display due to its high diversity. The library capacity of the scFv antibody library based on phage display technology can easily reach 10^9-10^10, and the library diversity is easily >90%, which is a more suitable display system. At the screening level, the phage display scFv library is also easier to screen with target objects such as cell lines and VLPs. The phage display discovery path of scFv antibody discovery service is shown in Figure 1:

█ scFv Antibody Development Service Content and Cycle
Steps | Service Content | QC Testing | Cycle |
Step 1: Antigen Preparation | *Antigen type: (1) Recombinant protein preparation; (2) Small molecule (modification) + coupling; (3) Peptide synthesis + coupling; (4) Customers provide inactivated viruses; (5) Customers provide packaged mRNA; | 1) Recombinant protein (purity>85%); 2) Small molecule purity>90%; 3) Peptide purity>90%; | 4-6 Weeks |
Step 2: Animal Immunization | (1) Animals are immunized 4 times, with one booster shot, for a total of 5 shots; (2) Collect negative serum before immunization, and collect blood for the 4th shot to test serum titer by ELISA; (3) If the serum antibody titer of the 4th shot meets the requirements, another booster shot is performed 7 days before blood collection. If it does not meet the requirements, continue with routine immunization; (4) If the titer is qualified, blood is collected to separate monocytes; | 1) Animal: clear background; 2) Immunity: protein/virus antigen titer detection; peptide/small molecule antigen titer detection; | 8-10 Weeks |
Step3: Template cDNA Preparation | (1) PBMC total RNA extraction; (2) High-fidelity RT-PCR to prepare cDNA; | 1) PBMC cell quality control; 2) Total RNA quality control; 3) cDNA quality control; | 1 day |
Step4: Phage Display Library Construction | (1) Using cDNA as a template, combine primers for multiple rounds of PCR to amplify VH and VL genes; (2) Phagemid construction and transformation: VH-VL gene splicing phagemid vector, electroporation transformation of TG1 host bacteria, and construction of antibody library; (3) Identification: Randomly select clones, PCR identification of positive rate + insertion rate; (4) Auxiliary phage preparation: M13 phage amplification + purification; (5) scFv display library rescue; | 1) Library positive rate detection; 2) Library insertion rate detection; 3) Library capacity detection + sequence detection; | 2-3 Weeks |
Step5: Library Screening | (1) Antigen coating (single protein screening, the default is solid phase screening or magnetic bead sorting); (2) Default 3-5 rounds of screening: pressure screening, maximally removing non-specific antibodies; (3) Pick a single clone to amplify phage + induce expression + ELISA to detect positive clones; (4) Pick all positive clones for gene sequencing; | 1) ELISA positive standard setting; 2) VHH screening standard setting; | 2-3 Weeks |
Step6: Drugability Evaluation | (1) Construct a suitable expression vector for expression + affinity purification + antibody protein quantification of the obtained antibody sequence; (2) ELISA verification of antibody-antigen binding; (3) BLI method to verify antibody affinity; (4) Cell function verification: flow blocking verification; | 1) Recombinant antibody expression quality control; 2) EC50 Verification; 3) Rapid affinity determination results; 4) Blocking verification results; | 4-6 Weeks |
Note: Customers can choose the above service steps according to their needs.
