  • Publication number: 20180009877
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a phage-displayed single-chain variable fragment (scFv) library, that comprised a plurality of phage-displayed scFvs characterized with (1) a specific CS combination; (2) a specific distribution of aromatic residues in each CDR; and (3) a specific sequence in each CDR. The present scFv library could be used to efficiently produce different antibodies with binding affinity to different antigens. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a potential means to generate different antigen-specific antibodies promptly in accordance with the need in experimental researches and/or clinical applications.

  • Publication number: 20170355750
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for high-throughput screening of a functional antibody fragment for an immunoconjugate that targets a protein antigen. The method combines a phage-displayed synthetic antibody library and high-throughput cytotoxicity screening of non-covalently assembled immunotoxins or cytotoxic drug to identify highly functional synthetic antibody fragments for delivering toxin payloads.

  • Publication number: 20140279758
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a method for inferring one or more biomolecule-to-biomolecule interaction sites includes receiving data representative of a plurality of prediction models. Each prediction model is associated with a different atom type of a plurality of atom types and characterizes biomolecule-to-biomolecule interaction site specific patterns common to a plurality of three dimensional probability density maps. Each three dimensional probability density map is associated with a corresponding biomolecule of a plurality of biomolecules included in a training data set and represents a probability of a non-covalent interacting atom on a surface of the corresponding biomolecule interacting with the atom type associated with the prediction model. Data representative of a query biomolecule is received, the data including one or more unknown biomolecule-to-biomolecule interaction sites.
