Popis: Distinguishing between bull Y- and X-bearing sperm populations is advantageous for techniques using sexed bull semen. The aim of this study was to produce a single-chain fragment variable (scFv) antibody against plasma membrane epitopes on bull Y-bearing sperm. Variable heavy (VH)- and variable light (VL)-region genes generated from a hybridoma cell secreting a specific Y-bearing sperm monoclonal antibody (mAb-1F9) were cloned and expressed. The expected sizes of the DNA bands were ∼350 bp for the VH gene and ∼318 bp for the VL gene. The VH and VL genes were generated and used to construct an scFv gene (∼650 bp), which was expressed in
