Towards the isolation of esterase and amidase catalytic antibodies: Examination of germinal center diversity by cloning and sequence analysis of genes encoding monoclonal antibodies elicited by a transition state analogue

In this study, a transition state analogue (TSA) approach was employed for the isolation of catalytic antibodies with esterase or amidase activity. The TSA used in this study, phosphonamidate, mimics the transition state of a corresponding amide or ester hydrolysis reaction. We applied hybridoma tec...
