Expression of a Chlamydia anticarbohydrate single-chain antibody as a maltose binding fusion protein.

A single-chain antibody fragment has been constructed for an antibody that binds to the Chlamydia specific carbohydrate structure of the lipopolysaccharide. Single-chain protein was expressed and secreted into the periplasmic space of E. coli as a fusion protein with the maltose binding protein. The fusion protein was purified in one step by virtue of its ability to bind to maltose. In a sandwich ELISA, the eluted protein bound Chlamydia lipopolysaccharide, which demonstrates that the single-chain protein domain will function as part of a fusion protein. The expression of maltose binding fusion proteins into the periplasmic space could be used for production of other single-chain antibodies or protein fragments requiring appropriate folding and disulfide bond formation.

Nutritional assessment in cancer cachexia.

Cancer cachexia causes nutritional depletion due to the tumor burden and the patient's inability to eat. A nutritional assessment is valuable in assisting the medical team in nutritionally repleting malnourished patients. Using readily available information, the practitioner can determine nutritional assessment and plan interventions that help the child to successfully withstand cancer and its treatment.
