title: Phage display of a human antibody against Clostridium tetani toxin.
abstract: 9F12, a human antibody capable of neutralising tetanus toxin in an animal model, has been expressed as a Fab fragment in a phagemid system. The nucleotide sequence for the variable domain of both chains has been determined and compared to germline sequences.
