摘要：Nanobodies (VHHs) overcome many of the drawbacks of conventional antibodies, and the related technologies represent state-of-the-art and advanced applications in scientific research, pharmaceuticals, and therapies. In terms of productivity and economic cost, the cytoplasmic expression of VHHs in Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a good process for their recombinant production. The cytoplasmic environment of the host is critical to the affinity and stability of the recombinant VHHs in soluble form, yet the effects have not been studied. For this purpose, recombinant anti-beta 2 microglobulin VHHs were constructed and expressed in four commercialized E. coli hosts, including BL21 (DE3), Rosetta-gami B (DE3) pLysS, Origami 2 (DE3) and SHuffle T7 Express. The results showed that anti-beta 2 microglobulin (beta 2MG) VHHs expressed in different hosts exhibited distinctive differences in the affinity and structural characteristics. The VHHs expressed in Rosetta-gami B (DE3) pLysS possessed not only the greatest affinity of (equilibrium dissociation constant) K-D = 4.68 x 10(-8) M but also the highest yields compared with the VHHs expressed in BL21 (DE3), Origami 2 (DE3) and SHuffle T7 Express. In addition, the VHHs expressed in Rosetta-gami B (DE3) pLysS were more stable than the VHHs expressed in the rest three hosts. Thus far, we have successfully realized the high expression of the active and robust anti-beta 2MG VHHs in Rosetta-gami B (DE3) pLysS. The underlying principle of our study is able to guide the expression strategies of nanobodies on the context of industrial large-scale production.
