title: The selection of single-chain Fv antibody fragments specific to Bhlp 29.7 protein of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae.
abstract: Single-chain antibodies (scFv) specific to Brachyspira hyodysenteriae were isolated from a phagemid library. Recombinant Bhlp 29.7 protein was used for scFv selection and individual clones were tested by ELISA and immunofluorescent test; four unique clones were isolated. One of selected clones was able to bind specifically B. hyodysenteriae in ELISA and immunofluorescence test. This is the first report of species-specific recombinant antibodies against B. hyodysenteriae.
