title: Recombinant single chain Fv antibodies specific for glycoprotein D of equid herpesvirus 1.
abstract: Single chain Fv (scFv) molecules generated by phage-display technology represent a new and efficient tool in the research and diagnostics of infectious diseases. The recombinant glycoprotein D of Equid herpesvirus 1 was successfully expressed in E. coli cells. The protein was produced predominantly in soluble fraction and was then purified on a nickel-agarose column. The scFv antibodies against the glycoprotein were selected and several clones of glycoprotein D-specific scFv-antibodies were identified; t of them was expressed as a soluble scFv molecule, purified by immobilized metal-affinity chromatography and used as reagent in an immunofluorescence test.
