Abstract excerpt
Decreased affinity of an antibody for a mutated epitope in an antigen can be enhanced and reversed by mutations in certain antibody residues. Here we describe the crystal structures of (a) the complex between a naturally mutated proteinaceous antigen and an antibody that was mutated and selected in vitro, and (b) the complex between the normal antigen and the mutated antibody. The mutated and selected antibody...
