Abstract:
Despite the availability of antibody libraries for the selection of receptor molecules, the large number of established and well-characterized hybridoma lines still represent a useful source for recombinant antibody genes. This protocol describes the PCR amplification, cloning, and a small-scale expression test for the generation of scFv fragments from hybridoma cell lines. Particular emphasis was placed on frequently observed problems and pitfalls of this method.
