  • Title: Cloning, bacterial synthesis, and characterization of immunoglobulin variable regions of a monoclonal antibody specific for the hepatitis B virus X protein.
    Author: zu Putlitz J, Skerra A, Schröder CH, Zentgraf H, Wands JR.
    Journal: Gene; 1998 Oct 09; 221(1):143-9. PubMed ID: 9852959.
    Abstract:
    The nucleotide (nt) sequences encoding the variable regions of the heavy (H) and light (L) chains were determined for a murine monoclonal antibody, 12/231/93, which is specific for a linear epitope located between amino acids 90 and 102 of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein (HBx). The variable (V) regions of the H and L chains were shown to belong to the mouse H chain subgroup II (C) and kappa L chain group III, respectively. The cloned variable region sequences were used for the production of a Fab fragment in Escherichia coli, which had binding activity for membrane immobilized recombinant HBx. These gene sequences may be useful for the study of HBx function in cells that will support HBV replication.
