Methods Peripheral blood samples were collected from 100 healthy elderly volunteers,5 mL for each,and pooled,from which peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)were separated and subjected to RNA extraction followed by cDNA synthesis. The heavy chain variable region(V_H)and light chain variable region(V_L)were amplified by PCR using the obtained cDNA as a template and the special sequence of IgG antibody as primer,and used as templates to obtain scFv through overlapping PCR. The constructed scFv was digested with sfi Ⅰand inserted into pComb3 xss vector,based on which a primary antibody library was constructed by electrotransformation and co-cultured with auxiliary phage VCSM13 overnight. The supernatant was precipitated with PEG-sodium chloride, and then the bacteriophage was resuspended in sterile PBS to complete the construction of phage antibody library. Phage ELISA was used to characterize the specificity of monoclonal antibody against phage. Results The human scFv library with capacity of 2. 6 × 10~9 was constructed. Two suspected phage antibodies against HA antigen of H1N1 strain were screened from 100 randomly selected phage monoclonal clones. Conclusion The technology platform of phage antibody library is successfully constructed,which may be used for screening various functional antibodies.
