Introduction-Phage ELISA • The phage enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (phage-ELISA) is a modified ELISA-based technique with the primary antibody replaced with the fusion phage. • M13 phage has been chosen in this experiment, use E. coli ER2738 to prepare
The Life Cycle of M13 F-pilus
Phage Display Technology • 利用轉殖將一段短片段的peptide gene附於噬菌體中,進而在不影響其感染力的情況下產生所需要的peptide於phage表面蛋白上以供利用 • Use anti-HBcAg monoclonal antibody to select which phage has the highest interaction
Peptide-WSFFSNI • A short peptide which is selected from phage peptide library • Has high affinity interaction with HBcAg(Hepatitis B core antigen) • Phage bearing the sequence WSFFSNI has the potential to be further developed as an immunodiagnostic marker
Results-Detection of HBcAg with fusion phage via phage/mAb ELISA. HBcAg + Fusion Phage HBcAg + mAb 1:5000=1.6mg/ml
Results-Detection of HBcAg with dot blot assay. Fusion phage Monoclonal antibody
Results-Detection of HBcAg in HBV positive serum samples using phage ELISA
Results-Detection of HBcAg in HBV positive serum samples with fusion phage via phage-dot blot assay 1x1012pfu/ml
Discussion • HBcAg has been one of the most important markers for HBV infections. • Production of monoclonal or antibodies raised in cell lines or animals are costly and time consuming, which usually takes months • the phage bearing the WSFFSNI sequence interacts tightly to HBcAg with a dissociation constant (KDrel) less than 25 nM
Conclusion • Recombinant M13 phage which is cheaper in terms of production and can be rapidly propagated. • The purification of the filamentous phage involves lesser steps compared to that of monoclonal antibody.
The Advantage of Phage-ELISA • This type of phage-based diagnostic reagent can save time, cost and energy required to produce monoclonal antibodies. • Higher sensibility than general amount of mAB (monoclonal antibody)
