Selection of chicken single-chain antibody fragments directed against recombinant VP7 of bluetongue virus

Viral protein seven (VP7) is a major core protein and a group-reactive antigen that can be used for the diagnosis of bluetongue virus. VP7 gene of bluetongue virus serotype 4 was expressed in E. coli. Using phage display technology, anti-VP7st4 scFvs were selected from a chicken scFv library (Nkuku®...
