The scFv antibody libraries of the invention contain an optimized, shortened inter-domain linker that improves expression scFv antibody expression. The scFv antibody libraries also include short nucleic acid barcodes that allow for identification of individual library clones, libraries or subsets thereof. Primers for generating, amplifying and spectratyping the scFv antibody libraries of the invention are also provided.

Compositions including an antibody single-chain variable fragment (scFv) conjugate that specifically binds to ROR1 tumor-associated antigen are provided. The anti-ROR1 scFv antibody and conjugates may include a biologically-active molecule. Such conjugates may comprise a chimeric receptor to direct T cells to respond to ROR1 cancer cells, Methods to use the scFV conjugates to target cells expressing ROR1 for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes are also provided.

The present invention concerns CAR, CAR-T and CAR-NK constructs, preferably comprising a scFv antibody fragment against a disease-associated antigen or a hapten. More preferably, the antigen is a TAA, such as Trop-2. The constructs may be administered to a subject with a disease, such as cancer, autoimmune disease, or immune dysfunction disease, to induce an immune response against disease-associated cells. Where the constructs bind to a hapten, the subject is first treated with a hapten-conjugated antibody that binds to a disease associated antigen. Therapy may be supplemented by other treatments, such as debulking procedures (e.g., surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy) or coadministration of other agents. More preferably, administration of the construct is preceded by predosing with an unconjugated antibody that binds to the same disease-associated antigen. Most preferably, an antibody against CD74 or HLA-DR is administered to reduce systemic immunotoxicity induced by the constructs.

The present invention features improved methods of in vitro RNA display to allow reliable expression and selection of scFv antibody molecules from expression libraries. The improved methods, in part, involve the use of mildly reducing conditions, which favor of scFv intra-chain disulphide bond and thus correct folding of the scFv antibody molecules. Although particularly suited to expression and selection of scFv antibody molecules, the methods of the invention are also expedient for in vitro RNA display of all classes of protein.

Compositions are provided, which can be used as frameworks for the creation of very stable and soluble single-chain Fv antibody fragments. These frameworks have been selected for intracellular performance and are thus ideally suited for the creation of scFv antibody fragments or scFv antibody libraries for applications where stability and solubility are limiting factors for the performance of antibody fragments, such as in the reducing environment of a cell. Such frameworks can also be used to identify highly conserved residues and consensus sequences which demonstrate enhanced solubility and stability.

The present invention relates to improved antibodies against tumor surface antigens and their use in the treatment of tumors. Of particular interest are highly stable, humanized, high affinity antibodies against carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), especially the antibody we have termed sm3E, which is derived from the scFv antibody MFE-23. Such antibodies have the potential for improved therapeutic efficacy.

The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and relates to a camel source immunity nanometer antibody (single-domain heavy-chain antibody, VHH) specifically bound with AFP and application of the antibody. The amino acid sequence of the antibody is SEQ ID NO.:1. The invention further relates to nucleotides for encoding amino acids. The AFP nanometer antibody can be used as the antibody to be applied to immunological detection of AFP not for disease diagnosis and treatment. Compared with a Scfv antibody and a Fab antibody, the camel source immunity VHH has the higher specificity and affinity, more stable in structure, resistant to acid, base and high temperature, high in detection flexibility and the like, so that the immunity detection stability is greatly improved, and meanwhile the environment resistance is greatly improved.

The invention discloses two types of ScFv (Single Chain Variable Fragment) antibodies, encoding genes of the antibodies and applications of the antibodies for preparing the preparations for treating or preventing infectious bursal disease of chicken. Two single-chain antibodies (namely, the ScFv antibodies) are provided; and the ScFv antibodies can be specially bound with the protein 2 (VP2) (Virus Protein 2) in an IBDV (Infectious Bursal Disease Virus) structure and a plurality of IBDV strains to block the cytopathic effect (CPE) of the chicken embryo fibroblast by the IBDV so as to protect the young chicken infected with IBDV. The immune serum and egg yolk antibody are tedious in preparation, high in production cost, unstable in effect, difficult to control industrialized production quality, capable of causing horizontal disease spread and the like in a use process; the ScFv antibodies disclosed by the invention can overcome the above disadvantages and have the advantages of strong specificity, good treatment effect, controllable industrialized production quality, capability of preventing the horizontal disease spread caused by the egg yolk antibody and the like; and therefore, by virtue of the ScFv antibodies, a new situation is opened up in the IBDV prevention and treatment history, and even in the entire prevention and treatment history for animal virus diseases.

The invention discloses a human single-chain antibody fragment (scFv) antibody of anti-recombination basic fibroblast growth factor and an application thereof. An amino acid sequence of heavy chain variable area of the human scFv antibody is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, and an amino acid sequence of light chain variable area of the human scFv antibody is shown in SEQ ID NO. 2. A gene sequence encoding the heavy chain variable area is shown in SEQ ID NO. 3. A gene sequence encoding the light chain variable area is shown in SEQ ID NO. 4. The human scFv antibody has the characteristics of high affinity and specificity, and can be directly developed to be used as an antibody drug for human because the human scFv antibody is fully human antibody. The gene encoding the human scFv antibody can be constructed and expressed to obtain various forms of micromolecular genetic engineering antibodies, such as, fragment antigen-binding (Fab) antibody, F(ab)2, single chain antibody, Nanobody, antibody fusion protein, immunoglobulin G (IgG) complete antibody, etc., which can be used for preparing antibody drugs for diagnosing and treating tumor and/or inhibiting viscera fibrosis.
