Abstract

Objective: The light chain variable region (VL) and heavy chain variable region (VH) genes from the anti-VEGF165 McAb hybridoma cell line were cloned for construction of it's chimeric antibody.

Methods: The VL and VH genes were amplified from the total RNA of the VmD11 hybridoma with RT-PCR and cloned into vectors, and then analyzed by sequencing.

Results: The 320 bp VL gene belong to mouse kappa light chain subgroup V, the 354 bp VH gene belong to mouse heavy chains subgroup I (B).

Conclusions: The nucleotide sequence analysis indicated that the cloned genes coded the light and heavy chain variable region of mouse respectively.
