ABSTRACT
Over the past decade, yeast display technology has emerged as a powerful tool for the isolation of high-affinity immunoglobulin fragments with potential utility as clinical diagnostic and therapeutic reagents. Despite significant refinement of the various methodologies underpinning library construction and selections, certain aspects remain challenging and process limiting. We have sought to significantly improve the robustness of the single-chain Fv (scFv) library construction step by overcoming the technical inefficiencies frequently encountered during the PCR-mediated assembly of scFvs from the discrete heavy and light V-domain repertoires. Using a novel primer set designed to provide maximum amplification coverage of the known germ-line V-domain repertoire, we have exploited the potential of the in vivo homologous gap-repair apparatus of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to assemble intact scFvs directly from co-transformed PBMC-derived VH, VL, and linearized vector component fragments. We have successfully applied this three-fragment assembly strategy to construct a large (>10(9)) scFv yeast display library from the ascites immune repertoire of ovarian cancer patients and validated the approach by applying FACS-based sorting to readily isolate scFvs that recognize various tumor marker antigens (TMAs). It is expected that this simplified construction method may find general utility, both for de novo scFv library construction and for subsequent combinatorial affinity maturation manipulations that require more than two fragments.
