Abstract
Melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE) is expressed on the surface of multiple tumor cell types and is a promising target of biotherapeutic drug delivery via the anti-MAGE-A1 antibody. In this study, a human single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody phage library was generated and applied to recombinant MAGE-A1-coated immunotubes by phage display technology. The soluble anti- MAGE-A1 scFv was expressed and purified by immobilized metal-chelated affinity chromatography (IMAC). The anti-MAGE-A1 scFv could bind native MAGE-A1 confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), dot blot, and immunoprecipitation (IP) analysis. The immunotoxin was expressed and purified by IMAC successfully. The results indicated that the human anti-MAGE-A1 immunotoxin could provide a valuable drug for clinic cancer therapy.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
