Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Organic solvents used for extraction of tacrolimus from whole blood samples lower the apparent affinity of the antibody used in a diagnostic immunoassay, thereby affecting the detection limit. METHODS: We used in vitro recombinant antibody engineering to screen and isolate clones from diverse libraries with mutagenic complementarity regions (CDRs) from tacrolimus 1-60-46 hybridoma cell line, with...
