Recurrent Variable Region Gene Usage and Somatic Mutation in the Human Antibody Response to the Capsular Polysaccharide of<i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>Type 23F
28 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
Combinatorial cloning and expression library analysis were used to isolate human antibody Fab fragments specific for the capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 23F. Thirty 23F-specific Fabs were isolated from seven vaccinated donors, and the sequences of the heavy (H)- and light (L)-chain variable regions were determined. All individuals utilized either the Vkappa A23 L chain, the Vkappa L6...
