摘要:Summary (Use of phage libraries for the in vitro production of recombinant monoclonal antibodies of
predetermined specificity). - The biotechnological generation of monoclonal antibodies of predetermined
specificity has traditionally involved the production of hybridomas obtained by somatic cellular fusion of
splenocytes from immunized animals with myeloma cell lines bearing selectable markers. Now, monoclonal
antibodies could be genetically engineered thus bypassing all the natural systems for making antibodies.
Filamentous bacteriophages provides a means to display and select large single chain fragments variable
(scFv) repertoires created by cloning the natural rearranged V-immunoglobulin genes or introducing
predetermined level of randomization into germline V-gene segments. In this article we demonstrated that by
using a well characterized scFv phage synthetic library it is possible to generate in vitro recombinant human
monoclonal antibodies directed to a large array of antigens showing different molecular weigths,
conformations and origins
