Identification by Phage Display and Characterization of Two Neutralizing Chimpanzee Monoclonal Antibodies to the Hepatitis E Virus Capsid Protein
15 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
Two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the ORF2 protein of the SAR-55 strain of hepatitis E virus (HEV) were isolated by phage display from a cDNA library of chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) gamma1/kappa antibody genes. Both MAbs, HEV#4 and HEV#31, bound to reduced, denatured open reading frame 2 (ORF2) protein in a Western blot, suggesting that they recognize linear epitopes. The affinities (equilibrium...
