Method Primary source [5] abstract: "Using the polymerase chain reaction, diverse libraries of VH [heavy variable] genes were cloned from the spleen genomic DNA of mice immunized with either lysozyme or keyhole-limpet haemocyanin. From these libraries, VH domains were expressed and secreted from Escherichia coli."
Comments p.3338 left column bottom paragraph: "The binding of Fab [fragment antigen-binding] fragments and recombinant domains of antibody D1.3 to its antigen occurs with k2=2-4×10^6M^-1×s^-1 (primary source)."
