1.2 Introduction of this article Predetermining the sex of offspring is crucial in preventing X- linked disease transmission in humans and in increasing the rate of genetic progress in livestock. Separation of X- and Y-chromosome-bearing sperm for gender preselection is the obvious preference since sex determination takes place before fertilization.Many attempts to separate X and Y sperm have been described using physical parameters, such as swimming velocity, density, surface charge or sex-specific antigens.
Sorting by flow cytometry is accurate but inefficient ,as well as expensive. Antibody phage display is a new technology for the identification of novel target molecules. Antibody synthetic libraries are useful for the identification of self-antigens or phylogenetically conserved antigens in comparison to other methods based on immunization.
The present report describes efforts to identify plasma membrane proteins specific for eithermale or female cells on bovine sperm cells through an antibody phage display library.

Griffin.1 library——a human scFv phagemid library made from synthetic V-gene segments.
Antibodies——rabbit polyclonal anti-VCSM13 HRP conjugate antibodies;rabbit anti-scFv;Goat anti-rabbit IgG FITC
E.coli strains——E.coli TG1; E.coli HB2151
In this library, the VH and VL sequence connected with a spacer sequence was inserted into an NcoI-NotI restriction site and followed by the M13 gene III sequence in phagemid vector pHEN2.Recombinant scFv phages were rescued in Escherichia coli suppressor strain TG1 in the presence of helper phage VCSM13.

By inserting an amberamber stop codonstop codon between the antibody gene and gene Ⅲ, when phage is grown in a supE suppressor strain of Escherichia coli, the amber codon is read as glutamine and the antibody fused to pIII is displayed on the surface of the phage. When the phage is grown in non-suppressor strains, the amber codon is read as a stop codon, and soluble proteinsoluble protein is secreted from the bacteria.

噬粒 (phagemid/phasmid)
由质粒载体和单链噬菌体载体构建成 既有质粒的复制起点,又有噬菌体的复制起点
以 M13 为例 : 在大肠杆菌细胞里,可以按正常的双链质粒分子进行复制,生成双链 DNA; 当宿主细胞受到辅助噬菌体感染后,在噬菌体基因Ⅱ蛋白质的作用下, 又可像单链噬菌体 M13 一样按滚环模型复制出单链 DNA ,然后由辅助噬菌体提供的外壳蛋白包装成噬菌体颗粒并在包装后释放出宿主细胞 .
许多噬菌粒利用 lac 启动子调控抗体 - PⅢ 融合产物的表达,而在抗体 -PⅢ 产物展示过程中,葡萄糖作为 lac 启动子的分解代谢抑制物,被转移或耗尽会影响产生单价噬菌体颗粒的融合产物的表达 .
辅助噬菌体 (helper phage)

3. Results3. Results
Titration of eluted phage showed that there was significant enrichment in their number between the first and second rounds of panning, but not in the third round (Table 1). Eluted phages were used to infect E. coli TG1 and were rescued with VCSM13 helper phage.
3.1 Selection of phage antibodies anti-bovine cells
Screening of polyclonal phage antibodies showed that those from the second round of selection had the greatest positivity (Fig. 1).
On the other hand, there was small increase in the number of precipitated phages between the second and third rounds of panning (Table 1).
As a result, the phages produced in the second round were used to infect E. coli HB2151 and 89 clones of monoclonal soluble scFv were produced.
3.2 Screening of scFv anti-bovine sperm cells by flow cytometry
The supernatant of 89 clones containing soluble scFv was added. Previously, the average concentration of scFv in the culture supern
atant was estimated by SDS-PAGE as 11.7 μg/ml. The data obtained were organized into three groups according to n
umber of bound cells: 0–40, 40–60 and 60–100% (Table 2). Twenty-four clones bound to 40–60% of the sperm cells, while 58 cl
ones bound to <40% and seven clones bound to >60%. Subsequently, the 24 selected clones were analyzed for binding to
Nelore bovine sperm cells. Results were similar to the previous assay.
3.3 Screening of selected scFv clones binding to male and female leukocytes by flow cytometry
The scFv clones that bound to 40–60% of sperm cells were submitted to binding assay against male and female bovine leukocytes by flow cytometry. The same protocol for sperm cells was used for leukocytes.
Fig. 2 Screening of selected scFv clones binding to subpopulations of sperm cells and male and female leukocytes by flow cytometry. Sperm cells of Simental were treated with supernatant containing about 2.3 μg of scFv of clone H2 (B) or supernatant of HB2151 bacteria culture (A). PBMCs of male and female crossbred Zebu were also treated with supernatant of clone H2 (D and F, respectively) or HB2151 bacteria culture (C and E, respectively). Among 24 clones tested, only clone H2 bound to leukocytes.
Twenty-three clones did not bind to male and female leukocytes, but one clone bound to 22.9% of malemale cells (Fig. 2).

4. Discussion4. Discussion
4.1 The results suggest that clone H2 recognizes one epi
tope on one subpopulation of leukocytes and sperm cells.
It can be hypothesized that our antibodies recognize a specific epitope present in subpopulations of leukocytes or cells in different stage of activation.
Thus Using an antibody phage display library, monoclonal antibodies against different sperm proteins were obtained in a less laborious and time-consuming manner.
4.2 The results also suggest the presence
of antigens characteristic of subpopulations of sperm cells and these antigens are apparently sex-specific.
4.3 It is speculated that differences in protein compo
sition between X- and Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa might occur for a minor component of themembranewith a low antigenicity and/or carbohydrate epitope.
Phage display provides an alternative technology for production of monoclonal antibodies against low antigenic molecules instesd of 2D electrophoresis or immunological techniques to identify proteins for sperm sexing.
