Abstract excerpt
Combinatorial libraries of antibody heavy and light chains derived from the peripheral blood lymphocytes of an individual immunized with tetanus toxoid have been expressed in Escherichia coli by using phage lambda vectors. Screening of the libraries allowed identification of a large number of human monoclonal Fab fragments specific for tetanus toxoid. Initial studies suggested considerable sequence diversity in...
