摘要

Human interferon-alpha 1c/86D (IFN alpha 1c/86D) was functionally displayed on the surface of the filamentous bacteriophage using a phagemid vector system (pCANTABSE). The key amino acid residues involved in the receptor binding were further defined with phage displayed 6-mer peptide library and two neutralizing antibodies against linear epitopes on the IFN-alpha lb, indicating that residues 30, 33, 34, (AB-loop) and residues 124, 126, 127 (D helix, DE-loop) were more critical than the adjacent residues for recognition of receptor. In addition, a cassette mutagenesis library was generated by fully randomizing the sequence of the four positions 29, 31, 32 and 35 in AB-loop, and used to select phage-IFN variants with WISH-based panning method. Three phage-IFN variants were isolated to possess more antiviral activity in the range of 4-16-fold than parental phage-IFN after IPTG-induced soluble expression. The results suggest that phage displayed phage-IFN alpha 1c/86D Variants with increased specific activity might be obtained after purification procedures.
