Abstract excerpt
The specificity of anti-progesterone P15G12C12G11 antibody was improved by combination of in vitro scanning saturation mutagenesis and error-prone PCR. The most evolved mutant is able to discriminate against 5beta- or 5alpha-dihydroprogesterone, 23 and 15 times better than the starting antibody, while maintaining the affinity for progesterone that remains in the picomolar range. The high level of homology with...
