Abstract:

The aim of this study was to construct and characterize of a naive Camelus bactrianus variable domain of heavy chain of heavy-chain antibody(VHH)yeast two-hybrid library.The blood,bone marrow,spleen and lymph node were collected from a healthy non-immunized 6 month-old female Camelus Bactrianus. And peripheral lymphocytes were isolated from blood samples using Ficoll Paque PLUS reagent.Then total RNA was extracted from peripheral lymphocytes,bone marrow,spleen and Lymph nodes.Reverse-transcription was performed to generate the first-stand cDNA.VHH fragments were amplified through two rounds PCR using two pairs of specific primers.Naive Camelus Bactrianus VHH yeast two-hybrid library was successfully constructed according to Clontech Mate & Plate library construction system user manual.Briefly,5 μg VHHs fragment containing homologous arms in 20 μL were co-transformed with 6 μL linearized pGADT7-Rec plasmid into component Y187 yeast cells,and transformation products were plated on SD/-Leu plates.After 3-5 days incubation at 30 °C,the library was harvested and the library quality were evaluated by titer,recombination efficiency,diversity and complexity.The results showed that there were 2.07×107 independent clones in the naive VHH yeast two-hybrid library and the library titer was 7.6×108 cfu•mL-1.PCR results showed that 43 independent clones inserted VHHs fragment in 47 randomly picked out clones,and the recombination efficiency was 91.5%.Nineteen independent clones were random picked out to sequence and sequence results indicate they all share unique sequences.In a conclusion,a naive Camelus Bactrianus variable domain of heavy chain of heavy-chain antibody yeast two-hybrid library was successfully constructed with large capacity,good diversity and complexity,which laid the foundation for preparation VHHs against interested antigens.
