    摘要: The invention refers to mono- and divalent (diabody) single chain Fv (scFv) antibody fragments, obtained by recombinant DNA techniques from the anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) monoclonal antibody (Mab) CB/ior-CEA. 1. This antibody has high affinity for CEA and is employed in the diagnosis and follow-up of human colorectal tumors. As the original Mab, the monovalent fragment and the diabody exhibit high affinity for human CEA and recognize an epitope dependent of carbohydrate conservation. The monovalent scFv fragment and the diabody have affinity constants for CEA of (5.0±0.4)×109 L mol−1 and (2.8±0.3)×1010 L mol−1, respectively. These two fragments do not show cross reactivity with human normal cells and tissues, exception made of the normal colonic mucosa, where CEA is occasionally present. The fragments can be produced through the expression in recombinant microorganisms, starting from the cloning of the encoding variable region nucleic acid sequences obtained from the hybridoma that produces Mab CB/ior-CEA.1. As the original Mab, the monovalent scFv and the diabody have the ability to identify in vivo cells that produce human CEA and grow as tumors in mice. The monovalent scFv and the diabody have a molecular size 5 and 2.5 times lower, respectively, than the mouse Mab, and do not have Fc domains, fact this that confers them the potential to better penetrate tissues in vivo and to be less immunogenic in man.

    摘要: The subject of the invention is the genomic sequence and the nucleotide sequences encoding polypeptides of Chlamydia pneumoniae, such as cellular envelope polypeptides, which are secreted or specific, or which are involved in metabolism, in the replication process or in virulence, polypeptides encoded by such sequences, as well as vectors including the said sequences and cells or animals transformed with these vectors. The invention also relates to transcriptional gene products of the Chlamydia pneumoniae genome, such as, for example, antisense and ribozyme molecules, which can be used to control growth of the microorganism. The invention also relates to methods of detecting these nucleic acids or polypeptides and kits for diagnosing Chlamydia pneumoniae infection. The invention also relates to a method of selecting compounds capable of modulating bacterial infection and a method for the biosynthesis or biodegradation of molecules of interest using the said nucleotide sequences or the said polypeptides. The invention finally comprises, pharmaceutical, in particular vaccine, compositions for the prevention and/or treatment of bacterial, in particular Chlamydia pneumoniae, infections.
