Release time: 2024-11-05   View volume: 1045

Project Snapshot — End-to-end antibody gene sequencing and validation case: PCR amplification of VH/VL variable regions, colony PCR confirmation, Sanger sequencing with >96% germline identity, and in-frame junction analysis — demonstrating AtaGenix’s complete antibody cloning and QC workflow.

Schematic of Antibody Coding Gene Structure

Figure 1: Schematic of antibody coding gene structure, including 5’ and 3’ untranslated regions (UTRs), illustrating heavy and light chain organization.

PCR Amplification of VH and VL Variable Regions

Figure 2: PCR amplification of antibody heavy (VH) and light chain (VL) variable regions, confirming successful cloning for downstream sequencing.

Colony PCR Validation Gel

Figure 3: Colony PCR validation gel. M: DL10000 DNA Marker. In-frame amplification bands confirm successful insertion of VH and VL sequences into the cloning vector.

VH/VL Sequence Identity Analysis

Sequence V-GENE and Allele Functionality V-REGION Identity (%) J-GENE and Allele D-GENE and Allele AA Junction Junction Frame
VH Musmus IGHV1-71-16*01 F Productive 96.53% Musmus IGHJ4*01 F Musmus IGHD2-4*01 F CAITTGYAMDYW In-frame
VL Musmus IGKV4-74*01 F Productive 97.51% Musmus IGKJ4*01 F CHQYYRSPFTF In-frame
Antibody Heavy and Light Chain Sequence Analysis

Figure 4: Antibody heavy and light chain sequence analysis. High germline identity (>96%) confirms accurate cloning and alignment of VH and VL regions.

Antibody VH/VL Sequencing Peak Map
