Codon Optimization> | The cDNA for these genes were purchased from Open biosystems (ThermoScientific), except for hTEM7 and hFAP which were purchased from Origene, and hFZD10 which was synthesized with codon optimization to lower GC content and remove rare codons by Genscript. | Get A Quote |
A single chain Fv fragment (scFv) is a fusion of the variable regions of heavy (V ) and light (V ) chains of immunoglobulins. They are important elements of chimeric antigen receptors for cancer therapy. We sought to produce a panel of 16 extracellular protein domains of tumor markers for use in scFv yeast library screenings. A series of vectors comprising various combinations of expression elements was made, but expression was unpredictable and more than half of the protein domains could not be produced using any of the constructs. Here we describe a novel fusion expression system based on mouse TEM7 (tumor endothelial marker 7), which could facilitate protein expression. With this approach we could produc... More
