We report on the preparation, crystallization, and preliminary x-ray diffraction analysis of the Fab fragment of the monoclonal antibody 8F5 that neutralizes infectivity of human rhinovirus serotype 2 (HRV2). Fab fragments prepared from this antibody by papain digestion were purified to isoelectric homogeneity by ion exchange chromatography and chromatofocusing. Crystals were obtained by the hanging drop vapor diffusion method using ammonium sulfate as precipitant. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with unit cell dimensions a = 59.9 A, b = 86.3 A, c = 128.2 A and diffract to at least 2.8-A resolution. The cell volume suggests the presence of one molecule per asymmetric unit, and the solvent content is estimated to be 61%.

D007140 Immunoglobulin Fab Fragments Univalent antigen-binding fragments composed of one entire IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN and the amino terminal end of one of the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS from the hinge region, linked to each other by disulfide bonds. Fab contains the IMMUNOGLOBULIN VARIABLE REGIONS, which are part of the antigen-binding site, and the first IMMUNOGLOBULIN CONSTANT REGIONS. This fragment can be obtained by digestion of immunoglobulins with the proteolytic enzyme PAPAIN.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D014961 X-Ray Diffraction The scattering of x-rays by matter, especially crystals, with accompanying variation in intensity due to interference effects. Analysis of the crystal structure of materials is performed by passing x-rays through them and registering the diffraction image of the rays (CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, X-RAY).
