We designed a novel bi-promoter vector harbouring CMV promoter/enhancer, EF-1 alpha promoter and different transcription terminators. The HC was placed downstream of EF-1 alpha promoter, but the antibody LC was driven by CMV promoter (in “head-to-head” (HH) and “head-to-tail” (HT) promoter orientation.) As control, HC and LC of antibodies were cloned separately into pOptiVEC and pcDNA 3.3 plasmids for co-transfection studies. This vector was used for the construction of a set of plasmids for the expression of a humanized antibody to TNF-alpha and a broadly neutralizing human antibody to influenza group A hemagglutinin. Comparison of antibody expr in case of transfection the bi-promoter plasmid and the co-transfection expression system after polyclonal selection (anti-hemagglutinin antibody) and after the MTX-induced gene amplification (anti-TNF-alpha antibody) demonstrated the 2-fold increase of antibody production after selection step and 2,8 - 3,2 – fold increase at the gene amplification. The bi-promoter vector system can be used for increasing the antibody production level at the early stage of cell line development.
