- Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to investigate cascade photobioreactors (cascade PBRs) with two different bottom configurations-flat and wavy-to establish the effect that fluid-flow regimes exert on the photosynthetic productivity of Chlorella sorokiniana. In the flat-bottom PBR, areal biomass productivities decreased from 6.8 to 4.2 g.m(-2).d(-1) when the flow rate of a culture per unit of lane width was increased from 33 to 132 L.m(-1).min(-1). We found that this decrease in the areal productivity was the result of a decrease in the volumetric photon flux densities (volumetric PFDs), which was caused by an increase in the depth of the culture in the lane. Through CFD calculation and long-exposure photography, the flow of the culture in the wavy-bottom PBR was characterized in an upper straightforward section and underneath the swirling section. Under identical conditions of flow rate and volumetric PFD (66 L.m(-1).min(-1) and 50 mu mol.m(-3).s(-1), respectively), the cell growth accelerated in the wavy-bottom PBR with areal productivity that reached 6.5 g.m(-2).d(-1)-productivity was 5.1 g.m(-2).d(-1) in the flat-bottom PBR. The swirling flow in the wave troughs held the culture for longer periods in the illuminated lane, and the resultant extended period of mixing improved the photosynthetic productivity.ELSEVIER, Nov. 2022, JOURNAL OF BIOTECHNOLOGY, 359, 15 - 20, English[Refereed][Invited]Scientific journal
- Insect cells have recently proven to be an excellent platform for the high-level production of functional recombinant proteins. Autophagy is an important mechanism that promotes cell survival by eliminating damaged organelles and protein aggregates, and it also may influence recombinant protein production. In the present study, we compared the effects that autophagy inducers rapamycin, everolimus, and lithium chloride exert on recombinant lepidopteran insect cells that secrete an engineered antibody molecule. Compared with nontreatment, treatment with either rapamycin or everolimus prolonged cell growth to allow high cell density, improved viability in the declining phase, and then increased the yield of secreted antibodies. These positive effects appeared to be induced via autophagy since autophagosomes were clearly detected, particularly in cells treated with rapamycin or everolimus. Unlike rapamycin, another autophagy inducer, FK506, was ineffective in insect cells. The addition of an appropriate autophagy inducer may be effective in increasing the productivity of recombinant proteins in insect cells.SPRINGER, Jun. 2021, CYTOTECHNOLOGY, 73(3) (3), 299 - 305, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Virus-like particles (VLPs) are hollow nanoparticles composed of recombinant viral surface proteins without a virus genome. In the present study, we investigated the production of influenza VLPs using recombinant insect cells. DNA fragments encoding influenza A virus hemagglutinin (HA) and matrix protein 1 (M1) were cloned with the Drosophila BiP signal sequence in plasmid vectors containing a blasticidin and a neomycin resistance gene, respectively. After Trichoplusia ni BTI-TN-5B1-4 (High Five) cells were co-transfected with a pair of constructed plasmid vectors, stably transformed cells were established via incubation with blasticidin and G418. Western blot analyses showed that recombinant High Five cells secreted HA and M1 proteins into the culture supernatant. Immunoprecipitation of the culture supernatant with an anti-HA antibody and transmission electron microscopy suggested that secreted HA and M1 proteins were in a particulate structure with a morphology similar to that of an influenza virus. Hemagglutination assay indicated that expressed HA molecules retained hemagglutination activity. In a shake-flask culture, recombinant cells achieved a high HA yield (approximate to 10 mu g/ml) comparable to the yields obtained using the baculovirus-insect cell system. Recombinant insect cells may serve as excellent platforms for the efficient production of influenza VLPs for use as safe and effective vaccines and diagnostic antigens.ELSEVIER, Nov. 2020, BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL, 163, 107757 - 107757, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Antibody Fab fragments consist of heavy chain (Hc) and light chain (Lc) polypeptides assembled with a disulphide bond. The production of a recombinant Fab fragment requires the simultaneous expression of two genes encoding both an Hc and an Lc in the same host cell. In the present study, we investigated the production of Fab fragments in lepidopteran insect cells using a bicistronic plasmid vector carrying the Hc and Lc genes linked with a 2A self-cleaving peptide sequence from the porcine teschovirus-1. We also examined the arrangement of a GSG spacer sequence and a furin cleavage site sequence with the 2A sequence. Western blot analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of culture supernatants showed that Trichoplusia ni BTI-TN-5B1-4 (High Five) cells transfected with a plasmid in which the Hc and Lc genes were joined by the 2A sequence successfully secreted Fab fragments with antigen-binding activity after self-cleavage of the 2A peptide. The GSG linker enhanced 2A cleavage efficiency, and the furin recognition site was useful for removal of 2A residues from the Hc. Transfection with a single plasmid that contained sequences for GSG, the furin cleavage site, GSG, and the 2A peptide between the Hc and Lc genes exhibited a higher productivity than co-transfection with a set of plasmids separately carrying the Hc or Lc gene. These results demonstrate that bicistronic expression with the appropriate combination of a furin recognition site, GSG linkers, and a 2A peptide may be an effective way to efficiently produce recombinant antibody molecules in insect cells.

- Recently, betacyanins have added research applications in food science processing industries, owing to their health promoting functional and attractive visual properties. Additionally, red-purple pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus) is a rich source of betacyanins. Development of a green and effective bioseparation technology is deemed favourably in the downstream bioprocessing industries. Hence, this study utilised a liquid biphasic electric flotation (LBEF) system for betacyanins extraction from peel and flesh of red-purple pitaya as well as comparison between LBF (liquid biphasic flotation) and LBEF system, color characterisation and antioxidant activity evaluation were conducted. In this study, the optimised LBF system was integrated with electric system. Collectively, the betacyanins extraction using LBEF system showed an optimal betacyanins extraction from the peel and flesh, with the significant highest values of betacyanins concentration in alcohol-rich top phase (C-t) (99.014 +/- 0.074% and 96.132 +/- 0.154%), separation efficiency (E) (98.383 +/- 0.215% and 96.576 +/- 0.083%) and partition coefficient (K) (100.814 +/- 7.324 and 24.883 +/- 1.052) of betacyanins. Moreover, the peel and flesh extract showed different variations of red colors and antioxidant properties. The present study introduces a new, simple and high efficient bioseparation technology (LBEF system) which is definitely worth to study further.ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, Jan. 2019, Separation and Purification Technology, 209, 193 - 201, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Monoclonal antibodies and antibody fragments are widely used in therapeutics and diagnoses. While mammalian cells serve as the host cells for antibody production, insect cells can produce large quantities of secretory antibodies in serum-free suspension cultures. The effects of lithium on the processes of autophagy and apoptosis in mammalian cells are well chronicled. In the present study, stably transformed insect cells, which produce an engineered antibody molecule, were cultured with lithium chloride in a serum-free medium. Treatment with lithium chloride induced autophagy and apoptosis in recombinant insect cells and led to increases in the yields of secreted antibodies.SPRINGER, Jan. 2019, In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal, 55(1) (1), 1 - 6, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Membrane bioreactor (MBR) is regarded as the state-of-the-art technology in separation processes. Surface modification techniques play a critical role in improving the conventional membrane system which is mostly hydrophobic in nature. The hydrophobic nature of membranes is known to cause fouling, resulting in high maintenance costs and shorter lifespan of MBR. Thus, surface grafting aims to improve the hydrophilicity of bio-based membrane systems. This review describes the major surface grafting techniques currently used in membranes, including photo induced grafting, plasma treatment and plasma induced grafting, radiation induced grafting, thermal induced grafting and ozone induced grafting. The advantages and disadvantages of each method is discussed along with their parametric studies. The potential applications of MBR are very promising, but some integral membrane properties could be a major challenge that hinders its wider reach. The fouling issue could be resolved with the surface grafting techniques to achieve better performance of MBRs.ELSEVIER SCI LTD, Dec. 2018, Bioresource Technology, 269, 489 - 502, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Liquid biphasic flotation (LBF) system has been recognized as an efficient, green, economically sustainable and biocompatible technique for biomolecules separation and purification. The main drawbacks of the conventional process of biomolecules separation are expensive production cost, utilization of phase components that are inefficiently recycled and global pollution due to high chemical consumption and wastage. In this paper, a novel approach of LBF system for lipase recovery utilizing recycling phase components comprising surfactant and xylitol was investigated. The scope of this study focuses on pollution prevention as well as clean and environmentally friendly process for enzyme extraction via LBF. The green process proposed in this study uses phase-forming components that have recovery and recycling abilities for minimal use of chemicals for enzyme extraction. This novel method utilized Triton X-100 and xylitol for lipase extraction from Burkholderia cepacia. A few parameters were optimized to obtain high lipase separation efficiency and yield. Based on the ideal conditions of LBF, the average lipase separation efficiency and yield are 86.46 and 87.49%, correspondingly. Phase components recycling were proposed in order to reduce the chemicals consumption in LBF system. Upscaling of the recycling study exhibited consistent result with the laboratory scale. It was found that 97.20 and 98.67% of Triton X-100 and xylitol were recovered after five times of recycling and that a total of 75.87% of lipase separation efficiency was obtained. Recovery and recycling of phase components in the extraction process are established as the principal green chemistry method, which yields high separation efficiency and is economically feasible on an industrial scale.Springer Verlag, Apr. 2018, Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy, 20(9) (9), 1 - 12, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Transient gene expression allows a rapid production of diverse recombinant proteins in early-stage preclinical and clinical developments of biologics. Insect cells have proven to be an excellent platform for the production of functional recombinant proteins. In the present study, the production of an antibody Fab fragment by transient gene expression in lepidopteran insect cells was investigated. The DNA fragments encoding heavy-chain (Hc; Fd fragment) and light-chain (Lc) genes of an Fab fragment were individually cloned into the plasmid vector plHAneo, which contained the Bombyx mori actin promoter downstream of the B. mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) IE-1 transactivator and the BmNPV HR3 enhancer for high-level expression. Trichoplusia ni BTI-TN-5B1-4 (High Five) cells were co-transfected with the resultant plasmid vectors using linear polyethyleneimine. When the transfection efficiency was evaluated, a plasmid vector encoding an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene was also co-transfected. Transfection and culture conditions were optimized based on both the flow cytometry of the EGFP expression in transfected cells and the yield of the secreted Fab fragments determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Under optimal conditions, a yield of approximately 120 mg/L of Fab fragments was achieved in 5 days in a shake-flask culture. Transient gene expression in insect cells may offer a promising approach to the high-throughput production of recombinant proteins. (C) 2017, The Society for Biotechnology, Japan.

- The generation of a recombinant baculovirus that displays antibody Fab fragments on the surface was investigated. A recombinant baculovirus was engineered so that the heavy chain (Hc; Fd fragment) of a mouse Fab fragment was expressed as a fusion to the N-terminus of baculovirus gp64, while the light chain of the Fab fragment was simultaneously expressed as a secretory protein. Following infection of Sf9 insect cells with the recombinant baculovirus, the culture supernatant was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using antigen-coated microplates and either an anti-mouse IgG or an anti-gp64 antibody. A relatively strong signal was obtained in each case, showing antigen-binding activity in the culture supernatant. In western blot analysis of the culture supernatant using the anti-gp64 antibody, specific protein bands were detected at an electrophoretic mobility that coincided with the molecular weight of the Hc-gp64 fusion protein as well as that of gp64. Flow cytometry using a fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated antibody specific to mouse IgG successfully detected the Fab fragments on the surface of the Sf9 cells. These results suggest that immunologically functional antibody Fab fragments can be displayed on the surface of baculovirus particles, and that a fluorescence-activated cell sorter with a fluorescence-labeled antigen can isolate baculoviruses displaying specific Fab fragments. This successful baculovirus display of antibody Fab fragments may offer a novel approach for the efficient selection of specific antibodies.SPRINGER, Aug. 2015, CYTOTECHNOLOGY, 67(4) (4), 741 - 747, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- The green alga Haematococcus pluvialis, which accumulates astaxanthin at an optimal temperature of 20 degrees C, was cultivated under temperatures of 20 degrees C, 23.5 degrees C, 27 degrees C, and 30.5 degrees C, in order to assess the effects on algal metabolism during the growth phase. The culture growth rate declined with above-optimal increases in temperature, and the final maximum cell concentration at 30.5 degrees C reached only 35% of that attained at 20 degrees C. On the contrary, the biomass productivity was increased under all the high-temperature conditions, probably reflecting the metabolism switch from cell duplication to energy accumulation that is typically observed in algal cultures subjected to environmental stress. Moreover, an increase in the light-harvesting capability of the alga was observed by means of the total pigment balance and the photosynthesis-intensity (PI) curve measured under the different cultivation conditions. Cultures kept at higher temperatures were able to better harvest and utilize the impinging light due to photo-acclimation. Finally, the differences in the astaxanthin metabolism were elucidated by subjecting the cultures to nitrogen starvation at 20 degrees C and 27 degrees C. In the culture at 27 degrees C, a 1.4-fold increase in the astaxanthin productivity was observed when compared to that at 20 degrees C, and the latter required almost two-fold more energy for the astaxanthin production compared with the 27 degrees C culture.

- Vertical photobioreactors (PBR) with cylindrical cross section, namely air-lift reactors (ALR) and bubble column reactors (BCR), are often chosen both for bench-scale and industrial scale microalgal cultivation. It was common belief that ALR was the most favorable configuration in terms of light conversion effciency (LCE) and/or photosynthetic productivity than BCR because of the regular cyclic-flow pattern achieved inside the PBR. In the present study, we simulated the flow patterns in both ALR and BCR by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and clarified the effects of such flow pattern on the LCE and productivity. Simulation results, obtained from the open-source CFD suite OpenFOAM, showed good agreement both for the flow velocity and the mixing time observed in the actual PBR using high-speed photography and conductivity pulse response, respectively. Subsequently, Lagrangian particle tracking was conducted on the simulation results to highlight the main fluid-flow patterns and to calculate the local-flashing-light frequency, which was necessary in order to estimate the overall light conversion effciency of the PBR. The BCR was characterized by a highly random fluid pattern with macroscopic, low-frequency circular loops while the ALR was characterized by numerous swirling flows localized inside the draft tube in addition to the main recirculation between the inner and outer portions of the tube. Finally, image analysis was used to correlate the numerical calculations with the light conversion effciencies attained in a Haematococcus pluvialis culture that had been illuminated with flashing light.SOC CHEMICAL ENG JAPAN, Jan. 2015, JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING OF JAPAN, 48(1) (1), 61 - 71, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- The production of Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus-like particles (VLPs) in stably transformed lepidopteran insect cells was investigated. The DNA fragment encoding the JE virus (JEV) prM signal peptide, the precursor (prM) of the viral membrane protein (M), and the envelope glycoprotein (E) was cloned into the plasmid vector pIHAbla. The pIHAbla contained the Bombyx mori actin promoter downstream of the B. mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) IE-1 transactivator and the BmNPV HR3 enhancer for high-level expression, together with a blasticidin resistance gene for use as a selectable marker. DNA encoding a form of prM with a pr/M cleavage site mutation was used to suppress the cell-fusion activity of VLPs. After transfection with the resultant plasmid, Trichoplusia ni BTI-TN-5B1-4 (High Five) cells were incubated with blasticidin, and cells resistant to the antibiotic were obtained. Western blot analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of a culture supernatant showed that transfected High Five cells secreted an E antigen equivalent to the authentic JEV E. Sucrose density-gradient sedimentation analysis of the culture supernatant from recombinant High Five cells indicated that secreted E antigen molecules were produced in a particulate form. VLPs recovered from the supernatant successfully induced neutralizing antibodies in mice, particularly when adsorbed to alum adjuvant. High yields (a parts per thousand 30 mu g/ml) of E antigen were achieved in shake-flask cultures. These results indicate that recombinant insect cells may offer a novel approach for efficient VLP production.SPRINGER, Feb. 2013, APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY, 97(3) (3), 1071 - 1079, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- The production of a secreted form of Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus-like particles (VLPs) using the baculovirus-insect cell system was investigated. A recombinant baculovirus that contained the JE virus (JEV) prM signal sequence and the genes encoding the precursor (prM) of the viral membrane protein (M) and the envelope glycoprotein (E) was constructed. Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of the culture supernatant showed that Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 cells infected with the recombinant baculovirus had secreted the E protein. Sucrose density-gradient sedimentation analysis of the culture supernatant suggested that secreted E antigen molecules were in a particulate form. Baculovirus-infected Sf9 cells produced more than a 10-fold higher yield of E antigen than that produced by previously reported recombinant CHO cells. Following infection with a recombinant baculovirus encoding a form of prM with a pr/M cleavage site mutation designed to suppress cell-fusion activity of E, Sf9 cells showed an E antigen yield comparable to a yield obtained with the baculovirus encoding the authentic form of prM. Baculovirus-infected Trichoplusia ni BIT-TN-5B1-4 (High Five) cells secreted less of the E antigen than Sf9 cells. Moreover, the Drosophila BiP signal sequence gave an E antigen yield comparable to the prM signal sequence, while the honeybee melittin signal sequence and the baculovirus gp64 signal sequence resulted in lower yields of the E antigen. These results provide information important to the development of VLP production processes using the baculovirus insect cell system. (C) 2012, The Society for Biotechnology, Japan.

- We describe the secretory production of a mouse anti-bovine ribonuclease A single-chain variable fragment (scFv) fused with the Fc region of human IgG1 in stably transformed lepidopteran insect cells. Use of the insect-derived Bip and melittin signal peptides resulted in higher yields of the secreted scFv-Fc fusion protein than use of the baculovirus gp64 signal peptide. After cotransfection with an expression vector that contains the Bip signal sequence upstream of the DNA encoding the scFv-Fc and a selection vector that carries a neomycin resistance gene, Trichoplusia ni BT1-TN-5B1-4 (High Five) cells were cultured in the presence of G418. Colonies of resistant cells were obtained around 2 weeks after adding G418, and clonal cells were screened by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of the culture supernatant. The yield of the scFv-Fc protein secreted from the most productive clone was around 60 mg/l in a shake-flask culture. To improve the productivity, we investigated the effect of medium supplements of sodium butyrate (NaBu), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and sericin. Supplementing culture medium with sericin increased the scFv-Fc protein yield to 82 mg/l, but productivity was not increased by either NaBu or DMSO. These results indicate that the stably transformed insect cells may allow for the efficient production of scFv-Fc and other Fc fusion proteins. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

- Escherichia coli is a host widely used in the industrial production of recombinant proteins. However, the expression of heterologous proteins in E. coli often encounters the formation of inclusion bodies, which are insoluble and nonfunctional protein aggregates. For the successful production of antibody fragments, which includes single-chain variable fragments (scFvs), we describe here the modification of linker, signal, and Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequences, the coexpression of cytoplasmic and periplasmic chaperones, and a method for fed-batch cultivation with exponential feed.2012, Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 907, 305 - 24, English, International magazineScientific journal
- A silica-based medium with optimized pore size, pore volume, and coupling density was prepared for protein A affinity chromatography, to be used for industrial purification of IgG. Performance and durability of the silica-based medium were studied during repeated use and compared with other protein A media available on the market. The silica-based medium provided high dynamic binding capacities for human polyclonal IgG in the superficial liquid velocity range from 150 to 720?cm?h1 because of a high mass transfer coefficient and high mechanical strength. The dynamic binding capacity and IgG recovery were high and varied only slightly during 50150 cycles of repeated use. The release of protein A ligand was low.WILEY-BLACKWELL, Jan. 2012, CHEMICAL ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY, 35(1) (1), 157 - 160, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- The effects of cytoplasmic and periplasmic chaperones on the secretory production of an anti-bovine ribonuclease A single-chain variable fragment (scFv) 3A21 in Escherichia coli were investigated. Co-expression of a cytoplasmic chaperone, GroEL/ES, DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE, trigger factor, or SecB with 3A21 scFv affected the proportions of antigen-binding activity in the cytoplasmic soluble fraction, the periplasmic fraction, and the extracellular medium, but there was no significant difference in the total activity compared to the control without chaperone co-expression. On the other hand, co-expression of a periplasmic chaperone, Skp or FkpA, with the exception of DsbC, greatly increased the binding activity in all the soluble fractions. Co-expression of both Skp and FkpA had no synergistic effect. Combinations of cytoplasmic and periplasmic chaperones decreased the productivity. In shake-flask cultures of cells co-expressing Skp or FkpA, considerable amounts of 3A21 scFv were detected in the extracellular medium by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot, and the extracellular production level of 3A21 scFv was calculated to be around 40mg/l. The binding activity of 3A21 scFv co-expressed with Skp was slightly higher than that with FkpA. These results indicate that the co-expression of periplasmic chaperones Skp and FkpA is extremely useful for the secretory production of scFvs in a culture medium using E. coli, but cytoplasmic chaperones and multiple-chaperone combinations may not be effective.

- We describe the soluble production of a mouse anti-bovine ribonuclease A single-chain variable fragment (scFv) fused with the Fc region of human IgG1 in Escherichia coli. Two production systems, secretory production using a pelB signal peptide and cytoplasmic production in a trxB/gor double mutant strain with an oxidizing cytoplasm, were investigated for efficient production of soluble and functional scFv-Fc fusion protein. Antigen-binding activity was observed in both systems but almost all of the scFv-Fc that was expressed formed insoluble aggregates. Hence, the co-expression of molecular chaperones was examined. Co-expression of GroEL/GroES showed a 4.6-fold increase in antigen-binding activity in the cytoplasmic production system but not in the secretory system. By contrast, the other two chaperones, DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE and trigger factor, had no effect in either production system. The protein solubility was also improved markedly by the co-expression of GroEL/GroES and approximately 70% of the 3A21 scFv-Fc protein was soluble. A practical productivity of more than 10 mg/L was achieved with a simple batch shake-flask culture. These results indicate that the E. coli cytoplasmic production system with oxidizing cytoplasm and molecular chaperones might be one of the choices for the soluble production of scFv-Fcs and other Fc fusion proteins.

- The production of an Fab fragment of the catalytic antibody 6D9 in lepidopteran insect cells infected with a recombinant baculovirus that contained both the heavy chain (Hc) and light chain (Lc) genes of the Fab fragment was investigated. Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of culture supernatant showed that baculovirus-infected Trichoplusia ni BTI-TN-5B1-4 (High Five) cells secreted an Fab fragment that retained antigen-binding activity. Infection of High Five cells with a recombinant baculovirus, in which the Lc and Hc genes were located downstream of the baculovirus p10 and polyhedrin promoters, respectively, produced a higher Fab fragment yield than that obtained with a baculovirus in which the Hc and Lc genes were downstream of the p10 and polyhedrin promoters, respectively. Baculovirus-infected High Five cells secreted more of the Fab fragment than Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 cells. Moreover, use of the baculovirus gp64 signal sequence upstream of the Lc and Hc genes resulted in greater yield of the secreted Fab fragment than use of the insect-derived BiP and melittin signal sequences. Consequently, the Fab fragment was obtained in a high yield (>600 mu g/ml) in a shake-flask culture of High Five cells infected at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10 plaque-forming units (pfu)/cell with the recombinant baculovirus in which the Lc and Hc genes with the gp64 signal sequence were expressed under the control of the p10 and polyhedrin promoters, respectively.

- Adenovirus vector production by anchorage-independent 293 cells immobilized using porous biomass support particles (BSPs) was investigated in static and shake-flask cultures for efficient large-scale production of adenovirus vectors for gene therapy applications. The density of cells immobilized within BSPs was evaluated by measuring their WST-8 (2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2,4-disulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, monosodium salt) reduction activity. In shake-flask culture, 293-F cells, which were adapted to serum-free suspension culture, were not successfully retained within reticulated polyvinyl formal (PVF) resin BSPs (2 x 2 x 2 mm cubes) with matrices of relatively small pores (pore diameter 60 mu m). When the BSPs were coated with a cationic polymer polyethyleneimine, a high cell density of more than 10(7) cells cm(-3)-BSP was achieved in both static and shake-flask cultures with regular replacement of the culture medium. After infection with an adenovirus vector carrying the enhanced green fluorescent protein gene (Ad EGFP), the specific Ad EGFP productivity of the immobilized cells was comparable to the maximal productivity of non-immobilized 293-F cells by maintaining favorable conditions in the culture environment.SPRINGER, Aug. 2010, CYTOTECHNOLOGY, 62(4) (4), 293 - 300, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- The production of a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody against bovine ribonuclease A in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli trxB/gor double mutant was investigated. Previous reports have shown that the thioredoxin (Trx) protein fusion strategy is useful for the correct folding of scFvs and that the expression of functional scFvs is increased by co-expression of molecular chaperones. In the present study, we examined the effects of the combination of Trx fusion and molecular chaperone co-expression on the production of a functional scFv. A Trx-fused scFv was obtained in the oxidizing cytoplasm, and co-expression of GroELS and trigger factor had the greatest effect, resulting in a 2.8-fold increase in specific productivity. By contrast, the molecular chaperone DnaKJE had no effect. Moreover, co-expression of DnaKJE with GroELS negated the effects of GroELS. Trx-scFv was purified using a bovine ribonuclease A-coupled Sepharose column, and 2.7 mg/L of purified protein was obtained. Soluble Trx-scFv, expressed and purified as described above, exhibited pH-dependent binding similar to that of the parental full-length antibody. In addition, approximately 80% of the initial binding activity was retained after incubation at 37 degrees C for 2 weeks, indicating that the Trx-scFv fusion protein is quite stable. This strategy might be useful for the preparation of other recombinant scFvs. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.

- It is common for small tandem peptide multimer genes to be indirectly inserted into expression vectors and fused with a protein tag. In this study, a multimer of the tandem angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptide (ACE-IP) gene was directly transferred to a commercially available vector and the designed gene was expressed as a repeated peptide in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)pLysS. The process further developed in our study was the construction of six-repeated ACE-IP synthetic genes and their direct insertion. Protein expression in inclusion bodies was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Acid hydrolysis of inclusion bodies produced single-unit peptides through cleavage of the aspartyl-prolyl bonds. This cleaved recombinant peptide (rACE-IP) was purified using immuno-affinity chromatography followed by reversed phase-HPLC. 105-115 mg of the lyophilized recombinant peptide was obtained from 1 L E. coli culture. In vitro biological activity of rACE-IP was indistinguishable from that of the natural peptide produced by hydrolysis in artificial gastric juice or by acidic hydrolysis. The rACE-IP prepared by recombinant DNA technology and solid-phase synthesis methods showed a similar IC 50. This strategy could be used for the expression of important peptides, which have N-terminal proline (P) and C-terminal aspartic acid residues (D) for commercial applications, e.g. functional foods and drinks. © 2009 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

- The use of low-multiplicity infection of 293 cells in static culture with regular medium replacement was investigated for efficient large-scale production of adenovirus vectors for gene therapy applications. An adenovirus vector carrying the enhanced green fluorescent protein gene (Ad EGFP) was used to infect 293-F cells at a low multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.00001-0.1 transductional unit (TU) cell(-1). The cells, which have the ability to grow in suspension, were incubated in T-flasks and the serum-free culture medium was replaced with fresh medium via centrifugation every 2 days. Because only a small proportion of cells were initially infected at low MOIs (< 1 TU cell(-1)), uninfected cells continued to grow until they were infected by progeny adenoviruses released from previously infected cells. When 293-F cells at a relatively low density of 1 x 10(5) cells cm(-3) were infected with Ad EGFP at a low MOI of 0.001 TU cell(-1), the vector yield was 2.7-fold higher than the maximum yield obtained with high-multiplicity infection (MOI = 10 TU cell(-1)) in batch culture. These results indicate that efficient adenovirus vector production using low MOIs is achieved by minimization of either nutrient depletion and/or accumulation of inhibitory metabolites in the culture medium.SPRINGER, Apr. 2009, CYTOTECHNOLOGY, 59(3) (3), 153 - 160, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- The characteristics of liposome formation in a micro-tube have been studied to develop a novel production method that forms the liposomes with a desired size homogeneously. In this method, the inner wall of the micro-tube was used to spread the liposomal lipid on. Then, instead of conventional rigorous agitation, an aqueous solution was fed through the tube, which peeled off the thin lipid layer formed liposomes. This resulted in a sharp peak in the size-distribution profile, and the size of liposomes was found to be dependent on the flow velocity anti on the micro-tube size. Moreover, the Yield of the liposomes of the desired size in our method was much higher than that in the conventional method, because our method produced liposomes uniform in size. From these findings, we concluded that the friction drag in the micro-tube is applicable for the efficient production of liposomes and a microfluidics device consisting of micro-tubes is a promising tool in the production of liposomal formulations.SOC CHEMICAL ENG JAPAN, Aug. 2008, JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING OF JAPAN, 41(8) (8), 739 - 743, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

The reduction of nutrient concentrations accompanied by dilution of the fermentation broth and an increase in the light intensity enhanced accumulation of astaxanthin. The final astaxanthin concentration of 390 mg L-1 was several times higher than ever reported.

- Flashing light from blue light emitting diodes is an effective method for the reduction of energy consumption in the bioproduction of astaxanthin by Haematococcus pluvialis. We investigated the effects of light intensity and frequency on the final astaxanthin concentration in bioproduction by H. pluvialis grown mixotrophically. The final astaxanthin concentration under illumination with flashing light, with frequencies ranging from 25 to 200 Hz, was dependent on the light intensity and on the duty cycle and was equivalent, or higher, in comparison with that under illumination with continuous light at the same incident intensity. The light intensity determined the maximum attainable concentration of astaxanthin under continuous illumination. Under illumination with flashing light, the ratio of the final astaxanthin concentration to the maximum concentration at a specific light intensity was correlated to the duty cycle in the frequency range from 25 to 200 Hz. The effect of lower frequencies on enhanced astaxanthin production under flashing light was also studied; at levels as low as I Hz, higher final astaxanthin concentrations were observed under flashing light compared to concentrations attained under continuous light.SOC BIOSCIENCE BIOENGINEERING JAPAN, Mar. 2008, JOURNAL OF BIOSCIENCE AND BIOENGINEERING, 105(3) (3), 216 - 220, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- This study examined the effects of two methods of methanol feeding, DO-stat and methanol concentration control, in fed-batch and continuous cultures of Pichia pastoris on cell growth and single-chain variable fragment antibody (scFv) expression. By maintaining the methanol concentration at 3.9 g l-1 in fed-batch culture, a scFv concentration of 198 mg l-1 was obtained. In continuous culture using both methanol feeding methods, the scFv concentration in the fermentation broth increased with a decreasing dilution rate. A maximum scFv concentration of 810 mg l-1 at a dilution rate of 0.0094 h-1 was obtained by maintaining the methanol concentration at 3.9 g l-1. Although the specific methanol consumption rate was the same for both methods, the specific productivity of scFv was higher in methanol concentration control from 0.0094 to 0.049 h-1 than it was in DO-stat control. Therefore, continuous culture with methanol feeding by the concentration control method shows promise for the industrial scale production of recombinant proteins by Pichia pastoris. © 2007 The Society for Biotechnology, Japan.SOC BIOSCIENCE BIOENGINEERING JAPAN, Nov. 2007, Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 104(5) (5), 403 - 407, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Considering the large molecular size of IgG antibodies widely used for therapeutic applications, the pore size, pore volume and coupling density of silica-based media were optimized for the effective large-scale purification, using an antibody-protein A affinity system. Silica media, with average pore sizes from 70 nm to 140 nm and surface areas of 26-67 m(2)/g, were prepared and coupled with protein A. The static adsorption capacity and dynamic binding capacity of bovine and human IgG were measured at superficial liquid velocities ranging from 94 to 720 cm/h. The volumetric coefficient of mass transfer of the alkali-treated silica-based protein A media, with a pore size of 110nm, was four times higher than the values for cross-linked agarose media and thus had high dynamic binding capacities at high superficial liquid velocities.

- The analysis of data from analytical equipment will be an important factor in the execution of metabolomics. Self-modeling curve resolution (SMCR) is one of the theoretical techniques of chemometrics and has recently been applied to the data of hyphenated chromatography techniques. Alternating least squares (ALS) is a classical SMCR method. In ALS, however, different solutions are produced depending on randomly chosen initial values. Simulation in the present study showed that the use of a normalized constraint in calculating ALS was effective in avoiding this problem. We also improved the ALS algorithm by adding a regularized term (regularized ALS: RALS). Independent component analysis (ICA) is a comparatively new method and has been discussed very actively by information science researchers, but has still been applied only in very few cases to curve resolution problems in chemometrics studies. We applied RALS with a normalized constraint and ICA to the HPLC-DAD data of Haematococcus pluvialis metabolites and obtained a high accuracy of peak detection, suggesting that these curve resolution methods are useful for identification of metabolites in metabolomics. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

- To conserve energy in the production of astaxanthin by the green alga Haematococcus pluvialis, we utilized intermittent flashing light from blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) and investigated the effects of the incident light intensity (2-12 mu mol m(-2) s(-1)), duty cycle (17-67%) and frequency (25-200 Hz) of flashing on the cell growth and astaxanthin production. In the above ranges, the final astaxanthin concentration under illumination by flashing light was significantly higher than that obtained under illumination with continuous light at the same incident intensity. For example, flashing light at an incident intensity of 8 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) gave the same final astaxanthin concentration that was obtained under continuous light illumination at 12 mu mol m(-2) s(-1), thus reducing energy consumption by 1/3. We therefore conclude that flashing light from blue LEDs is a promising illumination method for indoor algal cultivation using photobioreactors.SOC BIOSCIENCE BIOENGINEERING JAPAN, Nov. 2006, JOURNAL OF BIOSCIENCE AND BIOENGINEERING, 102(5) (5), 442 - 446, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- A water-soluble color indicator was developed for the effective screening of hydrogen-producing microorganisms. This indicator consists of a coloring agent and a water-soluble derivative of Wilkinson's catalyst. Wilkinson's catalyst, Tris(triphenylphosphine) rhodium chloride, had been developed as a catalyst for the hydrogenation of olefins. We used a sulfonate of the catalyst for the hydrogenation of coloring agent in an aqueous medium. Several coloring agents, such as methyl orange, methyl red sodium, neutral red and Evan's blue, dissolved in water together with the sulfonated catalyst showed a change in color when hydrogen gas was fed into the solution by sparging at room temperature.

- The rates of degradation of cyanuric acid, a key intermediate in a metabolic pathway of s-triazine herbicides, were measured for Pseudomonas sp. NRRL B-12227. The rate of degradation was affected by the rate of cyanuric acid transport through cell membranes and the activity of cyanuric acid amidohydrolase inside the cells. At low concentrations of cyanuric acid, the acclimation of cells to cyanuric acid and/or added nutrients effectively enhanced the degradation rate.

- A new cultivation method, in which physiological responses of Haematococcus pluvialis to different intensities and wavelengths of illuminating light are utilized, is proposed. In this method, light transmitted through a cultivation vessel illuminated from the opposite side was utilized for the early-phase cultivation of H. pluvialis in another inoculated vessel that was located behind the cultivation vessel, to save time required for the growth of cells. After harvesting cells from the front vessel, the vessel that was originally behind was shifted to the position of the front vessel. The abrupt increase in light intensity caused by shift of the position induced the effective accumulation of astaxanthin. These procedures for inoculation, shift of vessels and harvest were repeated using two vessels arranged in series along the light path.

- The photosynthetic microalga Haematococcus pluvialis, a potential source of astaxanthin, was cultivated under illumination with LEDs emitting red (lambda(max) = 625 nm), green(lambda(max) = 525 nm), blue (lambda(max) = 470 nm), blue-purple (lambda(max) = 410 nm) and purple (lambda(max) = 380 nm) light and a fluorescent lamp, and the effects of wavelength on cell growth and astaxanthin accumulation were studied. LEDs emitting light of short wavelengths (380-470 nm) were found to induce astaxanthin accumulation of up to 5-6% per dry cell, although the induction caused the suppression of cell growth. From these results, we proposed a new strategy of cultivating H. pluvialis under illumination with red LEDs without inducing a high level of astaxanthin accumulation, and then switching to illumination with blue LEDs at a high light intensity to induce a high level of astaxanthin accumulation.

- For cultivation of photosynthetic cells under defined light intensity distributions, the repeated batch culture, in which a part of culture broth containing grown cells was repeatedly replaced at predetermined time intervals with a fresh medium to keep the cell concentration constant at an initial value, was employed. By use of this method the effects of the light intensity distribution on the growth characteristics of Rhodobacter capsulatus were studied. Unexpected decreases in the specific growth rate were observed in culture of R. capsulatus at high cell concentrations and a long light path length. Big differences in the light intensities of lightly and darkly illuminated portions in photobioreactors, which reflects the light intensity distribution, seemed to cause this phenomenon, which must be taken into consideration for stable growth of photosynthetic cells.AMER CHEMICAL SOC, May 2004, BIOTECHNOLOGY PROGRESS, 20(3) (3), 998 - 1000, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

When the replacement was stopped, the light illumination was switched from red LEDs at 8μmol photons m-2 s-1 to blue LEDs at 12µmol photons m-2 s-1 to stimulate the accumulation of astaxanthin without decreasing in the cell numbers by death of the cells.

- In the present work, we investigated the effects of GC content, mismatching position, and length on the thermostability of double-strand oligo-DNAs in order to develop an affinity chromatography using oligonucleotide-immobilized capillary for SNP detection. We found that a single mismatching base pair appeared on 25 mer fragment of human tp53 tumor suppressor protein gene could reduce the melting temperature by 6.6°C. It seemed to be enough for eluting the mutated fragment separately from the intact one during a course of temperature ascending process.The Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan, 2004, The 10th Asian Pacific Confederation of Chemical Engineering Congress Proceedings, 1P-01-009, 479 - 479, English[Refereed]International conference proceedings
- Characteristics of neutralization of acids by newly isolated fungal cellsSoil microorganisms play an important role in maintaining soil pH at levels suitable for other soil organisms. To clarify the biological neutralization mechanism in soil, we isolated soil microorganisms showing a high ability to neutralize acids and studied their characteristics. From our taxonomic study, three isolated strains were identified as filamentous fungi, namely Mucor sp., Aspergillus fumigatus, and Aureobasidium pullulans. These strains could secrete basic materials, such as ammonia, for neutralization, grow in the medium at pH 4.0 and increase the pH of the medium to approximately 8.0. These microbial cells could neutralize not only nitric acid but also sulfuric and hydrochloric acids. The strains could also grow by utilizing nitric acid as a sole nitrogen source. In the soil containing these organisms, the pH was maintained in the neutral range by the buffering action of basic materials that they secrete. These results suggest that these fungal cells are useful for protecting the soil from acidification by acid rain.SOC BIOSCIENCE BIOENGINEERING JAPAN, Jan. 2004, JOURNAL OF BIOSCIENCE AND BIOENGINEERING, 97(1) (1), 54 - 58, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Taylor-eddy and paddle type apparatus were applied for refolding of lysozyme in a continuous system. The number of theoretical mixing stages was measured for both the apparatus and the effect of flow rate and mixing rate on the axial dispersion of solutions flowing inside of a ceramic membrane tube were investigated. Refolding at different concentrations of lysozyme was performed by addition of denatured lysozyme into refolding buffers flowing through the inside of the tube. For studying the effect of addition, different addition methods of denatured lysozyme into refolding buffer were devised by using ceramic membranes, from the total surface of the membrane tube and partially upside ceramic membrane. Comparing the efficiencies of continuous refolding with those of batch method, higher refolding efficiencies were obtained in the continuous system at the same concentrations of lysozyme and urea. Therefore, by combining the merits of the fed-batch method and continuous system, the refolding efficiency can be improved as well as throughput of refolding process.Oct. 2002, Journal of Chemical Engineering of Japan, 35(10) (10), 963 - 968, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Light attenuation in suspension of the purple bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus and the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtiiA simple and rapid calculation method, which is based on the Beer-Lambert law and Rose and Lloyd's hypothesis, was proposed for the determination of light attenuation profiles in suspensions of photosynthetic microorganisms. In this method, extinction coefficients measured spectrophotometrically at 2 single concentration of suspended cells over the whole range of wavelengths emitted from different light sources were used for reflecting the physical and biological characteristics of cells, which may change during a course of cultivation. The validity of this approach was confirmed by use of suspensions of two kinds of photosynthetic cells, the purple bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus and the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, illuminated by three light sources with different irradiation spectra. This approach can estimate well the profiles of the light attenuation in these systems, irrespective of the spectra of the light sources, until the transmitted light intensity falls to one tenth of the incident intensity.SOC CHEMICAL ENG JAPAN, May 2002, JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING OF JAPAN, 35(5) (5), 428 - 435, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Control of aggregate formation in refolding of carbonic anhydrase at high urea concentrations and effects of urea removalRefolding of CAB was studied at high concentrations of protein and urea. Aggregate formation was decreased by using higher concentrations of urea in refolding buffer. Refolding yields of 60% were obtained at high concentrations of CAB by using urea concentrations of 3.0-4.0 M in renaturation mixture, Comparison of the refolding yield and the amount of soluble CAB in renaturation mixture indicated that the apparent specific activity of refolded CAB was lower than that of native one at higher concentrations of urea. Difference in the steric structures of native and refolded CAB was observed in CD spectra of these samples. However, removal of urea from loosely folded CAB solution by dialysis recovered the native structure of CAB, as well as its native specific activity. Hence the refolding efficiency after dialysis was improved to about 70-80% at CAB concentrations of 3-5 kg/m(3). Effect of incubation time of renaturation mixture before dialysis was studied, and it was shown that incubation time less than 3 hours increased aggregate formation and decreased the refolding yield. Therefore, formation of more stable intermediates in the refolding pathway decreases aggregate formation during urea removal. These results lead to a consecutive dilution-dialysis method for refolding at high concentrations of proteins.SOC CHEMICAL ENG JAPAN, Jun. 2001, JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING OF JAPAN, 34(6) (6), 743 - 747, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- The light distribution in the externally illuminated cylindrical photo- bioreactor for production of hydrogen by a photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus ST-410 was estimated. The estimation was performed on the basis of the Matsuura and Smith's diffuse model [1]. In the diffuse model, the incident light rays are assumed to proceed in every direction and the local intensity is calculated as the sum of the intensities of light. Since Lambert-Beer's law, extensively used in photometry, was not useful for explaining the decrease in the intensity of light by the biomass, an empirical expression was used. The measurement of the intensities from every direction was conducted in an externally illuminated cylindrical photo- bioreactor having an inner diameter of 60 mm and a working volume of 550 ml. The obtained results confirmed our estimation. The light distribution was applied to estimate the hydrogen production by R. capsulatus ST-410 using the same photo-bioreactor. The overall hydrogen-production rate was successfully estimated. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A.Jun. 2000, Biochemical Engineering Journal, 5(2) (2), 157 - 164, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Ethanolamine was examined as a nitrogen source in the production of hydrogen by Rhodobacter capsulatus ST-410, a hydrogenase-deficient mutant of the strain B-100. It was found that ethanolamine supports cell growth as the sole nitrogen source and permits a large amount of hydrogen evolution, detected at 138 μmol/ml- culture from 3.5 mM ethanolamine and 30 mM DL-malate. The amount corresponded to a stoichiometric yield of 77% and was close to that obtained from 7.0 mM L-glutamate and 30 mM DL-malate. The hydrogen evolution rate per unit biomass (cells) was higher than that with L-glutamate, and the cells grown with ethanolamine had higher nitrogenase activity than the cells grown with L-glutamate. In terms of bioconversion of cellulosic and hemicellulosic biomass to hydrogen, D-glucose, D-xylose, and D-cellobiose were tested as substrates. The results indicated that those sugars permit a large evolution of hydrogen through cultivation with ethanolamine as a nitrogen source. For instance, the cells grown with 3.5 mM ethanolamine evolved hydrogen of 289 μmol/ml-culture (80% yield) from 30 mM D-glucose under a controlled pH of 6.4 to 6.9. © 2000, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

- The characteristics of Rhodobacter capsulatus ST410, a mutant of the wild strain B100 lacking hydrogenase activity, were investigated from the viewpoint of hydrogen production. When 30 mM DL-malate and 7 mM L-glutamate were used as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively, in an argon atmosphere, a specific hydrogen evolution rate of 0.14 ml/h/mg-dry cells was obtained at 6600 lx and 33℃. The evolution rate strongly depended on the light intensity : the higher the light intensity, the larger the evolution rate became up to at least 6600 lx. R. capsulatus ST410 converted 60 mM malate to hydrogen at a yield of 68%, calculated as a percentage of the stoichiometric maximum for the complete conversion of the carbon source to H_2 and CO_2. On the other hand, when the wild strain was used under the same conditions, the yield was only 25%. R. capsulatus ST410 converted not only malate but also glucose and cellobiose to hydrogen with good yields(60% for 30mM glucose and 66% for 7.5 mM cellobiose). Ethanolamine was found to be a good nitrogen source, which permitted a large amount of hydrogen to be evolved and also depressed the cell growth to low levels.Elsevier BV, Jan. 1998, Journal of Fermentation and Bioengineering, 85(5) (5), 470 - 475, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

The cDNA fragments encoding hemagglutinin (HA) and matrix protein 1 (M1) of an influenza virus A were separately cloned into the plasmid vector pIHAbla and pIHAneo. The pIHAbla and pIHAneo contained the Bombyx mori actin promoter downstream of the B. mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) IE-1 transactivator and the BmNPV HR3 enhancer for high-level expression, together with either a blasticidin or neomycin resistance gene for use as a selectable marker, respectively. After cotransfection with the prepared plasmids, High Five cells were incubated with blasticidin and G418, and cells resistant to the antibiotics were effectively obtained. Sucrose density-gradient sedimentation analysis of the culture supernatant showed that secreted HA and M1 molecules were produced in a particulate form.

The Lagrangian observations and velocity field measurements by a micro-PTV were carried out by use of a movable stage. From the results, it was found that the lipid film pre-coated on the wall were taken into the liquid/air interface and the rod-like liposomes were formed between the interface and the wall and that the rod-like liposomes becomes spherical liposomes in a flow. It was also found that the rod-like liposomes serially induced from the interface by the strong reverse flow existing near the interfaceCompetitive research funding

In this work, we developed the simple and rapid methods to obtain antibody ligands for recognition and detection of target proteins, based on our recent researches on production of large libraries of antibodies, a high sensitivity detection method of proteins and effective production of antibodies by secretion from yeast cells. 1.A colony lift assay for detection of antibody secreted from E. coli was developed by use of antigen-adsorbed PVDF membrane and liposome immunoblotting assay. By use of this method, high density and micro-assay was possible and the number of samples treated was increased. 2.By use of HRP encapsulating immunoliposomes and hydrophobic membranes, an immunoblotting assay method with two orders of magnitude higher sensitivity, compared with the conventional immunoblotting assay using HRP-conjugated antibody, was developed. 3.A large library of whole antibodies was obtained based on mating of yeast cells transformed by libraries of H- and L-chains, and aproduction method of antibodies by secretion from yeast cells was established. 4.An affinity biopanning method utilizing immunoliposomes was developed and it was applied to biopanning selection with a high efficiency.
