Abstract: In order to generate catalytic antibodies with glutathione peroxidase(GPX) activity, the clone B3 that bound specifically to glutathione(GSH) was selected from the phage display antibody library[human synthetic VH+VL single-chain Fv fragment(scFv) library] and the expression vector of scFv-B3 was constructed in previous study. The expression vector pPELB-B3 constructed was transformed into the Escherichia coli Rosetta to express the human anti-GSH single chain fragments variable(scFvs) antibodies. The scFv-B3 was purified by Ni2+-immobilized metal affinity chromatography(IMAC). 3-Mercaptopropyl acid-stabilized CdTe quantum dots synthesized in aqueous solution were used to conjugate with scFvs. Spectra analysis show that the fluorescent of QD-scFvs undergo a blue-shift in the emission peak, which suggest that the scFvs have been effectively bound to the scFvs, via covalent conjugation. It is also suggested by the result of the simple new method of dot blot. The results of membrane dot indicate that the QD-scFvs can specifically recognize the GSH. The status of the QD-scFvs acting on the MCF-7 cells was observed under fluorescence microscope. The results show that QD-scFvs can enter the cytoplasm across the membrane.
