title: Crystallization and preliminary x-ray studies of the Fab fragment from a humanized version of the mouse anti-human fas antibody HFE7a.
abstract: A humanized version of the apoptosis-inducing mouse anti-human Fas monoclonal antibody, HFE7A, is under further development for the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. We have crystallized the antigen-binding fragment (Fab) of the humanized HFE7A. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with cell dimensions a = 54.4 A, b = 82.7 A, c = 104.9 A and contain one Fab molecule in the asymmetric unit. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 2.8 A resolution.
