Abstract excerpt
Conventional immunization-based antibodies are not always applicable to monitor trace amounts of clinical biomarkers due to insufficient antigen-binding affinity. The development of in vitro affinity maturation for native antibodies has paved the way to solve this problem, but there has been minimal success in obtaining improved antibody mutants for small molecule biomarkers (haptens). We here describe a...
