Structure of a Pheromone Receptor-Associated MHC Molecule with an Open and Empty Groove [PDF]
Neurons in the murine vomeronasal organ (VNO) express a family of class Ib major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins (M10s) that interact with the V2R class of VNO receptors.

Observation and Characterization of the Interaction between a Single Immunoglobulin Binding Domain of Protein L and Two Equivalents of Human κ Light Chains [PDF]
Detailed stopped-flow studies in combination with site-directed mutagenesis, isothermal titration calorimetry data and x-ray crystallographic knowledge have revealed that the biphasic pre-equilibrium fluorescence changes reported for a single Ig-binding domain of protein L from Peptostreptococcus magnus binding to kappa light chain are due to the ...

The role of the C-domain of bacteriophage T4 gene 32 protein in ssDNA binding and dsDNA helix-destabilization: Kinetic, single-molecule, and cross-linking studies. [PDF]
The model single-stranded DNA binding protein of bacteriophage T4, gene 32 protein (gp32) has well-established roles in DNA replication, recombination, and repair. gp32 is a single-chain polypeptide consisting of three domains.

Production of Functionalized Single-Chain Fv Antibody Fragments Binding to the ED-B Domain of the B-isoform of Fibronectin in Pichia pastoris [PDF]
The Pichia pastoris expression system was used to produce functionalized single-chain antibody fragments (scFv) directed against the ED-B domain of the B-fibronectin (B-Fn) isoform which was found to be present only in newly formed blood vessels during tumor angiogenesis.

Arginine mutation alters binding of a human monoclonal antibody to antigens linked to systemic lupus erythematosus and the antiphospholipid syndrome [PDF]
Objective: Previous studies have shown the importance of somatic mutations and arginine residues in the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of pathogenic anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibodies in human and murine lupus, and in studies of

Recombinant rabbit single‐chain antibodies bind to the catalytic and C‐terminal domains of HIV‐1 integrase protein and strongly inhibit HIV‐1 replication [PDF]
AbstractThe human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) integrase (IN) protein plays an important role during the early stages of the retroviral life cycle and therefore is an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. We immunized rabbits with HIV‐1 IN protein and developed a combinatorial single‐chain variable fragment (scFv) library against IN.

Selective engagement of FcγRIV by a M2e-specific single domain antibody construct protects against influenza A virus infection [PDF]
Lower respiratory tract infections, such as infections caused by influenza A viruses, are a constant threat for public health. Antivirals are indispensable to control disease caused by epidemic as well as pandemic influenza A.

The effects of affinity and valency of an albumin-binding domain (ABD) on the half-life of a single-chain diabody-ABD fusion protein [PDF]
Fusion of small recombinant antibody fragments to an albumin-binding domain (ABD) from streptococcal protein G strongly extends their plasma half-life. This ABD binds with nanomolar affinity to human (HSA) and mouse serum albumin (MSA). It was speculated that an increase in albumin-binding affinity should lead to a further increase in half-life. In the
