Bogdanov, Maria A. Vershinina, Elvira V. Sheremeteva, Ilia Yu. Toropygin, Ekaterina I. Finkina, Tatiana V. Ovchinnikova

Generation of human TMEM16F-specific affibodies using purified TMEM16F by Eunyoung Kim, Jinho Bang, Jinho Bang, Ji Hye Sung, Jonghwan Lee, Dae Hwan Shin, Sunghyun Kim, Byoung-Cheol Lee

“…Despite the functional importance of TMEM16F, the modulators of TMEM16F function have not been sufficiently studied.Method: In this study, we generated TMEM16F-specific affibodies by performing phage display with brain-specific TMEM16F (hTMEM16F) variant 1 purified from GnTi− cells expressing this variant in the presence of digitonin as a detergent. Purified human TMEM16F protein, which was proficient in transporting phospholipids in a Ca2+-dependent manner in proteoliposomes, was coated onto plates and then the phage library was added to fish out TMEM16F-binding affibodies. …”
