CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE TEPC15-VK45.1 ANTI-2-PHENYL-5-OXAZOLONE NQ16-113.8 SCFV IN COMPLEX WITH PHOXGABA
Overview
Affinity maturation is a process that leads to the emergence of more, efficient antibodies following initial antigen encounter and represents a, key strategy of the adaptive immunity of vertebrate organisms. Earlier and, detailed sequence studies of the antibody response to a model antigen, the, hapten 2-phenyl-5-oxazolone (phOx), define three different classes of, antibodies. Class I antibodies use the V(H)Ox1/V(kappa)Ox1 gene pair and, dominate the early stages of the anti-phOx response, class II antibodies, use the V(kappa)Ox1 gene but a different V(H) segment and are common in, the intermediate stages, and class III antibodies use the, TEPC15/V(kappa)45.1 genes and play the greatest role in the late stages., Only the crystal structure of one anti-phOx antibody, the class II, NQ10/12.5 ...
