Abstract:
Binding specificities against virtually any antigen can be isolated from antibody libraries displayed on filamentous phage. The determination of antibody-antigen affinity constants and binding kinetics is an important part of antibody characterization, and may be predictive of antibody performance in biotechnological applications. This article, intended as a guideline for the scientist who isolates a novel antibody and wishes to characterize its binding properties, presents the authors' view on widely used methodologies for the quantitative determination of antibody-antigen interactions.
