This first anti-Ah42 scFv immune antibody library was selected against human Ah42. A number of positive clones were obtained, and sequences of V H and Vn genes were analyzed using ExPASy and BLAST computer tools. This analysis revealed that only two unique clones with identical V H and Vn complementarity determining region (CDR) (except HCDR2) and identical germline genes were selected, indicating that oligoclonal immune response was occurring in Ah42-immunized mice. Ah42-specific scFv antibodies selected from this first immune anti-Ah42 phage antibody library may be an important tool for the development of therapeutic molecules for Alzheimer's disease (AD).
