Embodiment 1

[0368] Construction of a high expression system for in vivo immunoglobulin (Ig) production. Specifically, the Ig heavy and light chain sequences are modified to increase in vivo expression of a fully assembled Ig molecule comprising 2 heavy and 2 light chain polypeptides. Constructs of gp120IgG-heavy and light chain molecules were generated and inserted individually into pVAX1 vector (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). This antibody has defined properties that allow its use in characterization studies as described below. Several modifications can be included when generating constructs to optimize Ig expression in vivo. Optimization included codon optimization and introduction of kozak sequence (GCCACC). The nucleotide sequences of the optimized constructs of the heavy chain and light chain of Ig are shown in SEQ ID NO:6 and SEQ ID NO:7 respectively (respectively figure 1 and 2 )middle. exist figure 1 and 2 In , the BamHI (GGATCC) and XhoI (CTCGAG) restriction enzyme site...

[0373] Materials and methods used in Examples 3-7

[0374] cells and reagents. 293T and TZM-Bl cells were maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium (DMEM; Gibco-Invitrogen, CA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and antibiotics, and in Subculture after confluence. Recombinant HIV-1 p24 and gp120Env (rgp120) proteins were obtained from ProteinScience Inc., and peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin was from Jackson Laboratory. Listed cell lines and other reagents were obtained from AIDS Research and Reference Reagent Program, Division of AIDS, NIAID, NIH.

[0375] Animal and protein and plasmid administration and delivery. Female BALB / c mice (8 weeks old) were purchased from TaconicFarms (Germantown, NY). For these administrations, 25 μg of plasmid DNA (pVax1 or pHIV-1 Env-Fab) in a volume of 50 μl was injected intramuscularly (IM), followed by the MID-EP system ( Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Blue Bell, PA) for EP-mediated enhanced delivery. The pulse parameter...

Embodiment 3

[0384] Generation of anti-HIV-1 Env-Fab expression constructs

[0385]cDNA encoding the anti-HIV-1 envelope VH and VL-Ig (immunoglobulin) chains of broadly neutralizing human mAbVRC01 was obtained from the VRC (Vaccine Research Center, NIH) by the NIHAIDS Research and Reference Reagent Program and subsequently cloned into the pVax1 vector. Several modifications as specified in Example 2 above were incorporated into the expression vector to maximize and optimize the production of biologically active Ig molecules. Specifically, these modifications include codon and RNA optimization and stabilization, enhanced leader utility, plasmid production at high concentrations, and in vivo plasmid delivery facilitated by EP. Placement of the resulting construct under the control of the immediate early promoter from human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is important for proper and efficient expression in mammalian cells and tissues. Schematic maps of the constructs used in this study are shown in Ta...

Description

[0001] Citations to related applications [0002] This application claims priority to International Application No. PCT / US2013 / 075137, filed December 13, 2013, which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to compositions comprising recombinant nucleic acid sequences for in vivo production of synthetic antibodies or fragments thereof, and methods of preventing and / or treating diseases in subjects by administering said compositions. Background technique [0004] Immunoglobulin molecules contain 2 chains of each type, a light chain (L) and a heavy chain (H), which are passed through disulfide bonds between cysteine ​​residues (shown as S-S ) covalently linked. The variable domains of the heavy (VH) and light (VL) chains contribute to the binding sites of the antibody molecule. The heavy chain constant region consists of 3 constant domains (CH1, CH2 and CH3) and a (flexible) hinge region. The light chain also has a constant...
