Abstract excerpt
Anti-MUC1 single-chain Fv (scFv) fragments generated from the humanised antibody huHMFG1 had adequate antigen-binding properties but very poor stability irrespective of the applied linker or domain orientation. Mutagenesis of heavy-chain framework residue V(H)-71, previously described as a key residue for maintaining the CDR-H2 main-chain conformation and thus important for antigen binding, markedly stabilised...
