Description:
A novel bacteriophage lambda vector system was used to express in Escherichia coli a combinatorial library of Fab fragments of the mouse antibody repertoire. The system allows rapid and easy identification of monoclonal Fab fragments in a form suitable for genetic manipulation. It was possible to generate, in 2 weeks, large numbers of monoclonal Fab fragments against a transition state analog hapten. The methods described may supersede present-day hybridoma technology and facilitate the production of catalytic and other antibodies.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Huse, W D -- Sastry, L -- Iverson, S A -- Kang, A S -- Alting-Mees, M -- Burton, D R -- Benkovic, S J -- Lerner, R A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1989 Dec 8;246(4935):1275-81.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, Research Institute of Scripps Clinic, La Jolla, CA 92037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2531466" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
