MX024 – TGEX-SCBLUE-Zeo – Shuttle Vector for the Mammalian Expression of scFv-Fc and VHH-Fc Fusions -Antibody Design

Technical Description

The TGEX™-SCblue-Zeo vector is designed for the mammalian expression of scFv-Fc fusions after transfer of scFv fragments from the PADL™ phagemid vector series.  TGEX™-SCblue-Zeo vector enables rapid and convenient expression of scFv fragment isolated by phage display as dimeric scFv-Fc fusion with all the advantages conferred by the Fc fragment for detection using commercially available secondary antibodies. Transfer of the scFv inserts are done seamlessly through a common double-SfiI (Fig. 1). Proper recombinant clones can be isolated using a blue/white colony screening.

Applications

• Mammalian expression of scFv-Fc or VHH-Fc fusion molecules in combination with phage display

• Selection of stable transfectants using Zeocin™.
