Popis: The amino-acid sequence of the very high-affinity anti-angiotensin II monoclonal antibody 4D8 was predicted from the nucleotide sequence of the heavy and light chain variable genes. The single-chain variable fragment (scFv) was constructed and expressed in Escherichia coli as a soluble protein and at the surface of the filamentous M13 phage and was compared with the full-length antibody (Ab). The scFv showed the same specificity profile and affinity constant as the intact antibody (5.0×10 10 and 8.0×10 10 M −1 , respectively, by Scatchard analysis). Several peptides from the set of overlapping dodecapeptides covering the variable domains of 4D8 mAb were found to specifically bind biotinylated angiotensin II: peptides from the L1, L2, L3 and H1 regions had the strongest capacity to bind the antigen.
