摘要: Apolipoprotein (apo) B is essential for the assembly and secretion of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins made by liver. As sole protein component in LDL, apoB an important determinant atherosclerosis susceptibility a potential pharmaceutical target. Single-chain antibodies (sFvs) are smallest fragment IgG molecule capable maintaining antigen binding specificity parental antibody. In present study, we describe cloning construction two intracellular (intrabodies) to human apoB. We targeted these intrabodies endoplasmic reticulum purpose retaining nascent within ER, thereby preventing its secretion. Expression 1D1 intrabody apoB-secreting hepatoma cell line HepG2 resulted marked reduction This study demonstrates utility specifically block plasma LDL as therapeutic strategy treatment hyperlipidemia.
