Specificity of recombinant antibodies generated from multiple sclerosis cerebrospinal fluid probed with a random peptide library
Summary: We generated recombinant antibodies (rAbs) from over-represented IgG sequences expressed by single plasma cells from multiple sclerosis (MS) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Panning of a phage-displayed random peptide library with the rAbs revealed several specific peptide sequences. Inhibition assays confirmed specific binding of the peptides to the antigen-binding site of the antibody. The native IgG [...]
