Abstract

Ribosome display was applied for affinity selection of antibody single-chain fragments (scFv) from a diverse library generated from mice immunized with a variant peptide of the transcription factor GCN4 dimerization domain. After three rounds of ribosome display, positive scFvs were isolated and characterized. Several different scFvs were selected, but those in the largest group were closely related to each other and differed in 0 to 5 amino acid residues with respect to their consensus sequence, the likely common progenitor. The best scFv had a dissociation constant of (4 ± 1) × 10−11 M, measured in solution. One amino acid residue in complementarity determining region L1 was found to be responsible for a 65-fold higher affinity than the likely progenitor. It appears that this high-affinity scFv was selected from the mutations occurring during ribosome display in vitro, and that this constitutes an affinity maturation inherent in this method. The in vitro-selected scFvs could be functionally expressed in the Escherichia coli periplasm with good yields or prepared by in vitro refolding. Thus, ribosome display can be a powerful methodology for in vitro library screening and simultaneous sequence evolution.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
