Abstract excerpt
The antigen-binding fragments (Fab) of antibodies are powerful tools in clinical therapy, molecular diagnostics and basic research. However, their principal applications require pure recombinant molecules in large amounts, which are challenging to obtain. Severe limitations in yield, folding and functionality are commonly encountered in bacterial production of Fab fragments. Secretion into the oxidizing periplasm...
