Basic Information | |
Specificity | Amino acid residues 142-145 (TTKH) of the alpha2 domain of the heavy chain of the HLA class I molecules are most likely to be involved in the formation of the epitope recognised by the scfv. |
Alternative Name | Human Leukocyte antigen; HLA-A2; HLA-A28; HLA A2; HLA A28 |
UniProt | |
Immunogen | A 57-year-old female presented with post-transfusion purpura 5 days following a blood transfusion. Serological studies with the sera of this patient identified the presence of anti-HLA-A2. A 50-ml EDTA anti-coagulated blood sample was obtained from the patient in the acute phase of her PTP, and mononuclear cells were isolated from the blood sample by layering onto a Ficoll gradient. An oligo dT primer was used to direct first strand cDNA synthesis and IgG encoded VH was amplified and an scFv library was constructed. Phage particles expressing anti-HLA A2/A28 scFvs were selected by panning. |
Application Notes | ScFv 3PF12 has been used in immunofluorescence and flow cytometry experiments to test antibody binding to HLA-A2 positive lymphocytes and platelets (Watkins 2000). The scFv has been tested in in vitro assays and have been shown to inhibit target cell killing (Watkins 2003). |
