摘要
A single-chain anti-atrazine antibody fragment, scAb (single-chain Fv with a CK domain), was expressed in Escherichia coli, and monomeric and dimeric species were preferentially purified from periplasmic extracts by chromatography upon nickel chelate immunosorbent columns or by immunoaffinity purification using a constant domain (CK) tag. Recombinant monomeric and dimeric antibody fragments, Fab, and intact monoclonal antibodies were compared in assays by competition between free atrazine in solution and (a) immobilized atrazine-bovine serum albumin conjugate (indirect assay) or (b) atrazine-alkaline phosphatase (direct assay). Recombinant antibody fragments provided a lower detection Limit than either Fab or intact monoclonal antibody in both assay formats. Monomeric fragments displayed a sensitivity of detection down to 0.1 ppb, compared to 1.0 ppb for dimeric fragments and the parental monoclonal.
