Abstract excerpt
We previously developed an efficient route to humanized F(ab')2 fragments by high level secretion of the Fab' arms from Escherichia coli followed by directed chemical coupling in vitro. Here the number and type of interchain linkages in F(ab')2 molecules has been modified to simplify their produc...
