Abstract: To express human-mouse chimeric IgA antibody directed against H5N1 virus, an anti-H5N1 chimeric IgA antibody gene was constructed by joining the light and heavy chain variable region genes and the corresponding signal peptide coding sequences of the anti-H5N1 mouse monoclonal antibody H5N1-HA with the coding sequences of the constant region of the human IgA2 heavy chain and Kappa chain respectively. Then the full-length chimeric light and heavy chain expressing plasmids pEF-IGHA9 and pEF-IGK9 were constructed and transfected into the CHO/dhfr cells. The chimeric IgA antibody expression was confirmed by ELISA, SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. The successful expression of this anti-H5N1 chimeric IgA may help to provide a stand for developing passive immunological agents for H5N1 virus infection prophylaxis.
