Abstract:
A phage antibody display library of single chain fragment variables (scFv) was applied to develop anti-equid herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) glycoprotein D (gD) neutralizing antibodies. To enrich for specific scFvs, the phage antibody library was panned against epitope derived from the N-terminal part of EHV-1 gD. Unique clones were differentiated by BstNI fingerprinting and further characterized by sequencing and immunoreactivity. The neutralizing effect of each clone was assessed by plaque reduction assay. Three clones with neutralizing effect were isolated.
