title: Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction study of the bacterially expressed Fv from the monoclonal anti-lysozyme antibody D1.3 and of its complex with the antigen, lysozyme.
abstract: The associated heavy (VH) and light (VL) chain variable domains (Fv) of the monoclonal anti-lysozyme antibody D1.3, secreted from Escherichia coli, have been crystallized in their antigen-bound and free forms. FvD1.3 gives tetragonal crystals, space group P4(1)2(1)2 (or P4(3)2(1)2), with a = 90.6 A, c = 56.4 A. The FvD1.3-lysozyme complex crystallizes in space group C2, with a = 129.2 A, b = 60.8 A, c = 56.9 A and beta = 119.3 degrees. The crystals contain one molecule of Fv or of the Fv-lysozyme complex in their asymmetric units and diffract X-rays to high resolution, making them suitable for X-ray crystallographic studies.
