Abstract
We have isolated human antibody fragments with binding specificities against the blood group antigens of the ABO and I blood group systems (B and HI), of the Rh system (D and E) and of the Kell system (Kpb), by selecting a phage-antibody library on human red cells. The fragments, expressed in bacteria, were antigen-specific and effective in assays including agglutination and immunohistochemistry. Selection of phage-antibody libraries using intact cells seems to offer a promising alternative to hybridoma technology for the production of antibodies against cell surface molecules.Entities:
