- the present invention generally relates to a novel system of identifying and separating cells transfected with a gene of interest.
- a novel system allows the study of experimental genes of interest on cellular events soon after transfection, as described above in the Summary.
- cells transfected with the expression system of the invention can be selected and experimented on as soon as 2 hours post-transfection.
- This new technology, the present invention thereby aids in the identification and characterization of genes of experimental interest soon after transfection.
- Intracellular signaling proteins and dominant-negative signaling molecules are now accessible to study. Early events initiated by dominantly acting oncogenes, negatively acting tumor suppressors, as well as temporal events along differentiated pathways can now be studied.
- HER-2/neu c-erbB-2
- EGFR epidermal growth factor receptor
- HER-2/neu-positive tumors The unregulated growth characteristics of HER-2/neu-positive tumors is hypothesized to arise, at least in part, from the effect of HER-2/neu on intracellular signaling pathways (Kumar, R. , et al . , Mol . Cell . Biol . 11:979 (1991)) .
- the invention described herein can be used to isolate homogeneous populations of cells expressing dominant negative mutations of cellular signaling proteins known to interact with the EGF receptor such as PI3K, PLCyl, Grb2, Syp, Nek, She, and p91 in several cell lines derived from breast tumors (see Table I) .
- This expression system of the invention by giving researchers the ability to select cells expressing genes of interest from culture as soon as 2 hours after transfection, allows the study of the acute effects of expression of a wide variety of experimental systems otherwise not accessible to study. For example, dominant negative or constitutively active mutations of proteins involved in signal transduction can be studied using the present invention. Analyses of early transcription events are now accessible to study. Experimentation on the acute effects of transfection on primary cell cultures, including cells that normally do not divide, such as neurons, is now possible.
- the present invention relates to a novel system for rapidly isolating and identifying eukaryotic cells after transfection.
- the invention employs a vector encoding for a "molecular hook, " including an rAb or a receptor-like molecule, that is expressed on the cell's surface. Such expression may occur as early as 2 hours after transfection.
- the rAb binds to a specific "hapten, " which, as defined below, can be any unique, selective epitope.
- the rAb can be in the form of double or single chain antibody (sFv) , an Fab fragment, or any functional binding unit.
- the invention's use of the rAb binding domain on the transfected cell and the hapten on the cell selection means has advantages over the converse option (the hapten expressed on the transfected cell) .
- the rAb or receptor-like molecule has a greater possibility of cross-reactivity than the hapten or epitope molecule.
- the cell selection means with a high hapten density and binding specificity, will yield a relatively pure population of cells transfected with and expressing the requisite rAb or receptor-like molecule.
- the "selective hook" expressed on the cell's surface is a receptor-like or adhesion molecule capable of selectively binding to a specific hapten, epitope or ligand.
- a receptor-like or adhesion molecule capable of selectively binding to a specific hapten, epitope or ligand.
- the term "receptor-like” molecule means any protein capable of specifically binding a hapten, epitope, or ligand.
- protein binding sites to be expressed on the cell's surface, that can be used to selectively bind epitopes or haptens, include adhesion molecules such as cadherins, selectins, fasciclins, integrins, leukocyte adhesion receptor, neuroglian, VLA family molecules and the like.
- adhesion molecules such as cadherins, selectins, fasciclins, integrins, leukocyte adhesion receptor, neuroglian, VLA family molecules and the like.
- protein binding sites that can be used to selectively bind include growth factor receptor binding sites, including growth hormone receptor, insulin receptor, interleukin receptors and the like. Examples of specific protein binding interactions useful in the instant invention are described in Creighton, T.E., in Proteins, Structure and Molecular Principles, W.H.
- the rAb and receptor-like or adhesion molecule are also engineered to include coding sequences for a transmembrane domain or any membrane anchoring sequence and a secretion signal (leader sequence) , thus allowing its expression on the transfected cell' s outer membrane surface (i.e., extracellular expression) .
- All coding sequences include 3 ' eukaryotic polyadenylation (poly-A) sequences, for the necessary 3' poly-adenylic acid RNA sequence needed.
- the rAb or receptor-like domain is capable of binding to a specific hapten or epitope.
- This hapten or epitope is bound either directly or indirectly to a cell separation means, such as magnetic beads or sheets, tubes, porous matrices, or any natural or synthetic material including metals, polymers, latex beads, agarose, Sepharose, or any solid surface.
- the hapten or epitope can also include or be conjugated to a fluorescent or other labeled, selectable hapten or epitope.
- PhOx-BSA-FITC PhOx-BSA-FITC. This allows for identification and selection of the transfected cell shortly after transfection, which can be as soon as approximately 2 hours after transfection, depending on the experimental system.
- the transfected cells can be separated from unbound, untransfected cells by any physical means, such as filtration, isolation, by magnetic field, centrifugation, washing and the like. This rapid enrichment of transfected cells allows studies of the acute expression of the transfected experimental genes of interest.
- the eukaryotic expression vector of the invention can use any vector or mixture of vectors capable of transfection and expression of DNA in eukaryotic cells.
- vectors are well known in the art and include, but are not limited to plasmids, viruses (such as adenoviruses, bovine papillomavirus, Epstein Barr virus, papovavirus, and retroviruses) or linear, double-stranded DNA.
- viruses such as adenoviruses, bovine papillomavirus, Epstein Barr virus, papovavirus, and retroviruses
- retrovirus vectors are described in Somia, N.V. , et al. , Proc. Natl . Acad. Sci . 92:7570
- Additional vectors are described in Catalogue of Recombinant DNA Materials, 2nd Edition, ATCC, Parklawn, MD (1991) ; and viral vectors are described in Levinson, A.D., "Expression of Heterologous Genes in Mammalian Cells", In Methods in Enzymoiogy 185:485 (1990) .
- Vectors are available to one skilled in the art that, upon transfection, are transient and episomal, stable and episomal, or stable and integrated.
- the vector containing the experimental gene(s) of interest can be encoded within the same vector as the rAb or can be on another or mixture of other vectors. If a mixture of vectors are used, they are co- transfected.
- the rAb is designed to bind to a specific hapten or epitope.
- hapten or “epitope” means any organic or inorganic molecule capable of being bound by any rAb or recombinant receptor-like molecule, and includes molecule that can serve as a ligand for receptor-like or adhesion molecules.
- phage display technology rAbs can now be isolated and produced in vi tro against "hapten" molecules, both natural and synthetic, that are either non-immunogenic or of such a high toxicity as to preclude their production in vivo.
- hapten affinities as high as IO 12 M-l can be generated, as described in Searle, S.J., et al. , Antibody Structure and Function, In Antibody Engineering, 2nd Ed, Ed. C.A.K. Borrebaeck, Oxford Univ. Press (1995) .
- a hapten is defined as not only any molecule that is immunogenic either alone or conjugated to a carrier but any molecule capable of binding to an rAb as described above.
- Such hapten molecules include aniline derivatives such as: diazonium salts; benzene and derivatives such as dinitro- benzenesulfonate or dinitrobenzene or p-amino- benzenearsonate; phenol and derivatives as dinitrophenol (DNP) , DNP-lysine; benzoates and benzoate derivatives such as phenylazobenzoate; acetates and derivatives such as phenylacetate; and the like.
- aniline derivatives such as: diazonium salts; benzene and derivatives such as dinitro- benzenesulfonate or dinitrobenzene or p-amino- benzenearsonate; phenol and derivatives as dinitrophenol (DNP) , DNP-lysine; benzoates and benzoate derivatives such as phenylazobenzoate; acetates and derivatives such as phenylacetate; and the like.
- DNP dinitrophenol
- the term "antibody binding unit” means any functional protein unit which can bind a hapten. Therefore, structurally, the recombinant rAb protein can be designed to take the final form of a double or single chain antibody ( designated "sFv"), Fab, Fab' or F(ab') 2 fragments, or any functional antigen- antibody binding unit. rAbs, including single chain antibodies (sFvs) and Fabs, are able to bind their cognate antigens with high specificity and affinity, as described in Winter, G. , et al., Annu. Rev. Immunol . 12:433 (1994) .
- rAbs can now be isolated and produced in vi tro against molecules, both natural and synthetic, that are either non-immunogenic or of such a high toxicity as to preclude their production in vivo, as described in: Clackson, T., et al . , Nature 352:624 (1991); Figini, M. , et al. , J “ . Mol . Biol . 239:68 (1994); Hawkins, R.E., et al. , J “ . Mol Biol . 226:889 (1992); Hoogenboom, H.R. , et al . , Immunol . Rev.
- the coding sequence for the rAb is operably linked to a strong constitutive promoter capable of expression immediately upon transfection or soon thereafter. As disclosed herein, this enables selection of cells expressing genes of interest, through the extracellular expression of the rAb, within hours after transfection.
- constitutive promoters are well known in the art and include, but are not limited to viral, bacterial or eukaryotic promoters. One skilled in the art would know how to choose a vector of choice for a particular experimental system.
- CMV cytomegalovirus
- RSV Rous sarcoma virus
- LTRs retroviral long terminal repeats
- the rAb can be operatively linked to an inducible promoter, such as interferon beta promoter, heat-shock promoter, glucocorticoid promoter and the like, as generally described in Lewin, B., Genes V, Oxford Univ. Press, New York, NY (1994) .
- an inducible promoter such as interferon beta promoter, heat-shock promoter, glucocorticoid promoter and the like, as generally described in Lewin, B., Genes V, Oxford Univ. Press, New York, NY (1994) .
- the rAb is expressed on the cell surface and the transfected cell can be identified and isolated from the total cell population as soon as two hours after induction of the promoter.
- One or more genes of interest to be expressed in the transfected cell of the instant invention can be contained within a second vector.
- the second vector can be co-transfected with the rAb encoding vector. Alternatively, it can be spliced within the rAb-encoding vector.
- the experimental gene(s) can be operatively linked to the same or a similar type of strong constitutive promoter as the rAb. Alternatively, it can be operatively linked to a different promoter.
- This promoter can be an inducible promoter, such as interferon beta promoter, heat-shock promoter, glucocorticoid promoter and the like, as described in Lewin, B., Genes V, Oxford Univ. Press, New York, NY (1994) . If the gene of interest or the rAb is operatively linked to an inducible promoter, that rAb or gene can be expressed on the cell's surface as soon as two hours after induction.
- the experimental gene(s) of interest can be operatively linked to the same promoter as the rAb. This can be effected by inserting an Internal Ribosome Entry Site (IRES) between the coding region for the rAb and the second, downstream, gene (Glass, M. J. , et al . , Virology 193(2) :842-852 (1993)) .
- IRS Internal Ribosome Entry Site
- promoters In designing and synthesizing the promoters, they can be initially placed within the expression vector or genome or can be synthesized in conjunction with the rAb or gene of interest before splicing into their respective vector(s) .
- a polylinker can be designed between the promoter and a poly A sequence for simplified insertion of rAb or gene of interest coding sequences in the expression vector or genome.
- the vector of the expression vector is pCR3.1 (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA) .
- pCR3.1 is a eukaryotic expression vector which includes polylinker sites, cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter, bovine growth hormone (bGH) poly A signal and the ampicillin and neomycin resistance genes for selection, as described in Figure 1.
- CMV cytomegalovirus
- bGH bovine growth hormone
- the rAb sequence is linked to a signal, or leader, sequence that is functional in the transfected host cell.
- signal sequences also called leader sequences
- a signal sequence is composed of 15-30 amino acids that are relatively hydrophobic, thus allowing insertion into microsomal membrane.
- leader sequence can be either homologous or heterologous to the transfected host.
- the desired rAb coding sequence can be linked to any signal (leader) sequence which will allow insertion of the rAb protein in the membrane of the selected host and its expression as a functional, hapten- binding extracellular protein.
- the rAb sFv coding sequence was combined with the murine kappa chain V-J2-C region signal peptide.
- This signal peptide is described in Coloma, M.J., et al . , J. Immunol . Methods 152:89 (1992) and Kabat, E.A., et al . , Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 4th ed. U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services. Washington, D.C. (1987) .
- the rAb and receptor-like coding sequences are also linked to a transmembrane domain, or any membrane anchoring sequence.
- the desired rAb coding sequence can be linked to any transmembrane domain which will allow insertion of the rAb protein in the membrane of the selected host and its expression as a functional, hapten- binding extracellular protein.
- the rAb coding sequence is combined with the transmembrane domain of the human platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) .
- PDGFR transmembrane domain is described in Gronwald, G.M. , et al . , Proc. Natl . Acad. Sci . U. S.A . 85:3435 (1988) .
- the expression vector employs a single chain antibody (sFv) directed against a hapten, 4-ethoxymethylene-2-phenyl-2- oxazolin-5-one (phOx) , to isolate transiently transfected cells from total populations in culture.
- the fusion protein, phOx sFv as described in Hoogenboom, H.R. , et al . , Nucl . Acids Res . 19:4133 (1991) , also contained two epitope tag peptides (for protein identification by anti- tag antibodies) , and the transmembrane domain of the human PDGFR.
- this fusion protein When expressed in transfected cells, this fusion protein is anchored to the membrane via the transmembrane domain of the PDGFR.
- the functional antibody binding unit, phOx sFv is therefore exposed to the extracellular environment.
- Cells were transiently transfected with an expression vector encoding phOx sFv, designated pPhOx.TM. The cells were then selected from culture using antigen (phOx) -coated magnetic beads (the method for cell separation by magnetic bead is described in detail, see Example III (b) below) .
- a single-chained rAb versus a dimeric rAb, is advantageous because the smaller size of the single chain coding sequence allows other inserted coding sequences to be longer without losing cloning efficiency.
- Cloning efficiency is inversely ⁇ to vector size. For example, if the gene of interest is cloned into the same vector as the rAb, then use of the smaller single-chained rAb allows for the inclusion (insertion) of a longer genes or multiple genes, of interest without increasing the overall size of the vector.
- the cell selection means of the instant invention comprises any molecule or device that can be coupled to the hapten of choice and can be used to physically separate transfected cells from culture.
- the hapten may be coupled directly or indirectly to any insoluble separation agent, including but not limited to magnetic beads, gelatin, glass, Sepharose macrobeads or dextran microcarriers such as Cytodex ® (Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden) .
- the hapten may be coupled, either directly or indirectly, to plates, tubes, bottles, flasks, magnetic beads or sheets, tubes, porous matrices, or any natural or synthetic material including metals, polymers, latex beads, agarose, Sepharose, or any solid surface and the like.
- Any molecule or reagent may be used to link to hapten of choice to the cell separation means, including lectins, avidin/biotin, inorganic or organic linking molecules and the like.
- the cell separation means may utilize antibodies specific for any chemical or biological reagent and any form of detection system known in the art. For example, methods of manufacturing antibodies and utilizing antibodies in detection and separation systems are described in Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual , edited by E. Harlow et al . , Cold Spring Harbor Labs, Cold Spring Harbor, New York (1989) , which incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- the transfected cells can be separated from unbound, untransfected cells by any physical means, such as filtration, isolation, by magnetic field, centrifugation, washing and the like.
- transfection of any expression system can be effected by any means, physical or biological.
- Physical means include direct injection, or, DEAE-dextran mediated transfection, electroporation, calcium phosphate mediated or lipid-mediated transfection and the like.
- the invention also relates to cells transfected with the expression vector and methods for selection and isolation of cells transfected with the expression system.
- This example describes methods for the generation of a vector capable of expressing a single chain antibody directed against a hapten.
- the parent vector for pPhOx.TM is pCR3.1 (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA) , a eukaryotic expression vector containing the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter, bovine growth hormone (bGH) , poly A signal and the ampicillin and neomycin resistance genes for selection, as described in Figure IA.
- CMV cytomegalovirus
- bGH bovine growth hormone
- poly A signal poly A signal
- ampicillin and neomycin resistance genes for selection as described in Figure IA.
- a DNA fragment encompassing the nucleotides encoding amino acids 514-562 of the human platelet- derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) was amplified using nucleotide primers.
- PDGFR is described in Gronwald et al . , Proc. Natl . Acad. Sci . U. S.A. 85:3435 (1988) .
- These primers incorporate restriction sites and the Myc.l epitope tag EQKLISEEDLN, recognized by the monoclonal antibody 9E10.2, as described in Evan, G.I., et al . , Mol . Cell Biol . 5:3610 (1985).
- This fragment was cloned into the T/A cloning vector pCRII (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA) and sequenced entirely on both strands to verify integrity.
- the PDGFR transmembrane fragment was constructed to contain a unique Sal I restriction site at the 5' end that is in the same reading frame as a Sal I site introduced at the 3' end of the phOx sFv sequence.
- This fragment was also constructed to contain a Not I site at its 3' end immediately following a stop codon which follows amino acid 562 of the human PDGFR sequence.
- the PDGFR DNA fragment was excised from the pCRII vector by digestion with Sal I and Not I, purified by standard procedures, and ligated into Sal I/Not I digested pCR3.1 vector thereby creating the vector pCR3.1.1.
- the sequence encoding the murine Ig kappa-chain V- J2-C-region signal peptide (METDTLLLWVLLLWVPGSTGD) containing an EcoRV site at its 5' end, an influenza hemagglutinin (HA) epitope tag (YPYDVPDYA) , and Sfi I and Sal I sites at its 3 ' end was then subcloned from another sFv-containing vector (pCR3.2) as an EcoRV to Sal I fragment (sFv is a single-stranded antibody specific for 4-ethoxymethylene-2-phenyl-2-oxazolin-5-one, also designated phOx) .
- This fragment was then ligated with EcoRV/Sal I digest
- the anti-phOx sFv was amplified from the phage display vector pHEN-I (phOx) (Hoogenboom et al .. 1991) using primers that encompassed the Sfi I site on the 5 ' end of the sFv and incorporated a Sal I site on the 3 ' end of the 3' Myc.l tag already present in pHEN-I.
- the PCR product was cloned into pCRII and its sequence integrity determined by dideoxy sequencing.
- the resulting clone was then digested with Sfi I and Sal I, purified by standard procedures, and ligated with Sfi I/Sal I digested pCR3.1.2 creating pPhOx.TM, as illustrated in Figures IA and IB.
- the Myc.l epitope tag was fused to the carboxyl-terminal end of the anti-phOx sFv as a tandem repeat.
- the HA epitope tag (recognized by the monoclonal antibody 12CA5, Boehringer Mannheim, Indianapolis, IN) was fused to the amino terminus immediately after the leader peptide cleavage site such that it is the first sequence in the mature protein.
- the two epitope tag peptides one 3' and one 5' to the sFv, were included as controls for complete expression and membrane display of the fusion protein.
- Expression of the sFv/PDGFR fusion protein from this plasmid is driven by the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter, the sequence of which is included in Figure 6.
- CMV cytomegalovirus
- the fusion protein was expressed from pPhOx.TM in vi tro using a rabbit reticulocyte lysate system (Novagen, Inc., Madison, WI) , as illustrated in Figure 2.
- Production of an RNA transcript in this system relied on the T7 promoter that is found between the CMV promoter and the sFv sequence in pPhOx.TM.
- the protein translated from the resulting message is approximately 40 kD.
- the expected molecular weight of the phOx sFv:PDGFRTM fusion protein is approximately 37.6 kD (30 kD (phOx sFv) + 7.6 kD (PDGFR TM domain, amino acids 514-562)).
- This example describes methods for the synthesis of a hapten capturing agent through its coupling to a cell separation means.
- the phOx-BSA conjugate described above was coupled to tosyl-activated magnetic beads (Dynabeads M-450, Dynal, Inc.) using the manufacturer's recommended protocol. Beads were suspended in 50 mM NaHC0 3 , pH 9.5 to a concentration of 2xl0 8 beads/ml. PhOx-BSA was added to a final concentration of 150 ⁇ g/ml and the bead/protein mixture was incubated at 4°C for 24 hours with gentle rotation. The beads were washed extensively and stored at 4°C in PBS/ 0.1% BSA/ 0.01% NaN 3 at a concentration of 2xl0 8 beads/ml.
- magnetic beads activated by carboxy groups can be attached to the BSA-phOx conjugate.

The suspension was vortexed and incubated for two hours at ambient temperature on a rotary mixer. The suspension was subjected to a strong magnetic field and the supernatent was decanted. The beads were resuspended in 4 ml of the sodium acetate buffer and repelleted with the magnetic field twice to wash away contaminants.
- This example describes methods for transfection of cells and selection with hapten capturing agent through its coupling to a cell separation means.
- transient expression was carried out in cultured cells.
- Cell lines tested include the "293" adenovirus- transformed human kidney cells, the human adenocarcinomas of the breast described in Table I, and HeLa cells, as described in above. Cell lines were grown to approximately 50-70% confluence in either RPMI-1640 or Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM, GIBCO, Grand Island, NY) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS, Gemini Bioproducts, Inc., Calabasas, CA) and the media changed 24 hours prior to electroporation.
- DMEM Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium
- FCS fetal calf serum
- Cells were harvested by incubation with trypsin or 3 mM EDTA/PBS for 5 minutes at 37°C and collected by centrifugation (800- 1000 g for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature) . The supernatant was decanted. The cell pellet was then resuspended to a concentration of lxlO 7 cells per ml in complete medium per 60 mm plate. The cells were pipetted up and down to break up cell clumps and achieve single cell suspension.
- the cells as described above, were transfected by combining 5 ⁇ g plasmid DNA with 0.2 ml cell suspension (2xl0 6 cells) and pulsing the mixture at 500 ⁇ F and 250 V in an IBI Gene Zapper.
- the electroporated cells were added to 5 ml media and incubated at 37°C in a humidified C0 2 incubator.
- Adherent cells were harvested by incubation with PBS/ 3 mM EDTA and combined with cells that remained suspended. Cells were collected by centrifugation and resuspended in 0.5 ml medium to which 1.5xl0 5 phOx-BSA coated magnetic beads would be added.
- Transfected cells were collected by centrifugation and resuspended in 0.5 ml PBS/3 mM EDTA medium, to which 1.5xl0 5 phOx-BSA coated magnetic beads will be added.
- the magnetic beads were washed before use to remove the sodium azide.
- One microcentrifuge tube for each 60 mm plate of cells was set up.
- the magnetic bead slurry was vortexed to resuspend beads.
- 10 ul (1.5 x IO 6 beads) was added into each microcentrifuge tube.
- the beads were washed by adding 1 ml complete medium to each tube and mixed by inversion 3 times.
- the beads were pelleted with a strong magnet or magnetic stand and pipet or aspirate off medium.
- the cell/bead mixture was rotated for 30 minutes at 37°C on a Dynal mixer.
- the bound cells were separated from the mixture by placing the tubes in a Dynal MPC-E magnetic particle concentrator. Unbound cells were drawn off and the bead pellet was washed twice by resuspension in 1 ml complete medium followed by gentle vortexing. Live unbound cells and bead-bound cells were counted by Trypan blue exclusion.
- adenovirus-transformed human kidney cells "293" were transfected with either pPhOx.TM or psFv.MUT (which produces a truncated, inactive sFv) and returned to culture for 24 hours.
- the transiently transfected cell population was harvested and incubated with phOx-BSA magnetic beads for 30 minutes at 37°C in complete medium with gentle agitation.
- bead-bound cells were selected from culture by magnetic interaction. Upon microscopic inspection of the magnetic bead pellet, each selected cell was observed to have bound to it at least one and in many cases several beads.
- Figure 3A shows cells at 24 hours post- transfection by electroporation, cells can be observed binding to phOx-BSA coated magnetic beads from culture. None of the cells that had been transfected with psFv.MUT were bound to beads or were selected from culture.
- sFV from pPhOx.TM expression can occur in different cell types.
- pPhOx.TM was introduced into several cell lines including four lines derived from carcinoma of the breast, as summarized in Table I, and adenovirus-transformed human kidney cells designated "293". Cells were selected at 24 hours post- electroporation on phOx-BSA beads and compared for selection efficiency. Under these transfection conditions, all cell lines tested displayed sFv on their membranes sufficient for selection from culture, as graphically displayed in Figure 3C and Table II. Selection efficiency varied across the cell lines tested. Increased selection efficiency can be obtained by optimizing transfection conditions for specific cells using techniques known to one skilled in the art.
- transfected cells were also incubated with magnetic beads coated with BSA alone as a negative control. In each case incubation with BSA beads yielded selection efficiencies of less than 0.03% of the live cells present.
- Membranes were washed as above, developed using ECL reagents (Amersham) and exposed to film. As shown in Figure 4, virtually all of the immunoreactive sFv appears in the cells that were selected from culture and only a trace of activity remained in the unselected cells. This result suggests that in the two cell lines tested, virtually all of the cells that express the sFv fusion protein are efficiently selected from culture.
- SK-BR-3 cells were co-transfected with pPhOx.TM and pCMV ⁇ (Clontech) which carries the gene encoding ⁇ - galactosidase.
- Cells were mock transfected or transfected with either 5 ⁇ g pPhOx.TM, 5 ⁇ g pCMV ⁇ , or 5 ⁇ g of each.

- One third of each transfection reaction was plated in each chamber of a four chamber microscope slide (Nunc) .
- 125 I-phOx-BSA was prepared by combining 100 ⁇ g BSA protein and 500 ⁇ Ci Na 125 I (Dupont/NEN, Boston, MA) to iodogen-coated tubes using the manufacturer's protocol (Pierce) . Free I was removed by applying reactions to an Econo-Pac 10DG column (BioRad) that had been blocked with BSA and equilibrated in PBS. Labeled protein was eluted in PBS.
- PhOx.TM Vector can be amplified prior to use in the instant invention by transforming the plasmid into a recA, endA E. coli (e.g. DH5 ⁇ ) strain.
- the lyophilized vector is resuspended in 20 ⁇ l of sterile water to make a stock solution.
- a small portion (1 ⁇ l) of the stock solution can be used to transfect the E. coli of choice on LB plates containing 100 ⁇ g/ml ampicillin or 50 ⁇ g/ml kanamycin.
- the pCR TM 31acZ (8.1 kb) plasmid used in this procedure as a positive control is constructed by inserting the lacZ gene in the EcoRI cite of the pCRTM3 plasmid (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA) .
- the positive control serves to assist in optimizing the transfection conditions for the PhOx.TM and co-tranfected vectors.
- the pCRTM3lacZ contains the E. coli gene encoding ⁇ -galactosidase, which gene is expressed in mammalian cells using the immediate- early promoter from cytomegalovirus.
