Case Study
Case Study 1
Researchers utilized the pComb8 vector to engineer M13 bacteriophages expressing MAGE-A1 tumor peptides, aiming to develop a melanoma vaccine. They tested the engineered bacteriophages in vivo to gauge their ability to stimulate immune responses. Two variants were engineered using phage display technology, each expressing MAGE-A1 peptides fused with different coat proteins. After intraperitoneal vaccination of mice, increased levels of anti-MAGE-A1 antibodies and enhanced cytotoxicity against melanoma cells were observed. These findings highlight the potential of engineered M13 bacteriophages for melanoma immunotherapy.
Figure 1. The successful construction of pComb8-MAGE and pComb3XSS-MAGE was confirmed by Sanger sequencing of the constructed phagemids. Genetically engineered M13 bacteriophages were then generated by transforming E. coli bacterial cells with the recombinant phagemids followed by super-infection with VCSM13 helper bacteriophages.

Case Study 2
Researchers aimed to identify conformational B-cell epitopes of the major timothy grass pollen allergen Phl p 1 using anti-idiotypic antibodies. They constructed a combinatorial phage display library from the IgG repertoire of a grass pollen-allergic patient, expecting to find anti-idiotypic Fab specificities. By biopanning with purified anti-Phl p 1 IgG, they isolated several Fab-displaying phage clones. Sequence analysis revealed four distinct clones, all derived from the same germline sequence, with high homology in their CDRs. Mapping their sequences onto the Phl p 1 structure revealed epitope patches on the N-terminal domain of the allergen, distinct from previously reported IgE epitopes. Thus, the study demonstrates that anti-idiotypic antibodies derived from the patient's IgG library, when used with the pComb3 vector, can mimic conformational epitopes of allergens, providing insights into their immunogenicity.
Figure. 2 The library was generated by integrating Fab-cDNA derived from PBMCs of an allergic donor into the XhoI/SpeI and SacI/XBaI sites of the pComb3 vector, enabling the fusion of the Fd chain with the C-terminal domain of the phage coat protein III (designated as library LB).
