| Sumario: | The observed increase in the prevalence of gluten-related disorders has prompted the development of novel immunological systems for gluten detection in foodstuff. The innovation on these methods relies on the generation of new antibodies, which might alternatively be obtained by molecular evolution methods such as phage display. This work presents a novel approach for the generation of a Fab library by merging semi-synthetic heavy chains built-up from a pre-existent recombinant antibody fragment (dAb8E) with an immune light chain set derived from celiac donors. From the initial phage population (107 candidates) and after three rounds of selection and amplification, four different clones were isolated for further characterization. The phage Fab8E-4 presented the best features to be applied in an indirect ELISA for the detection of gluten in foods, resulting in improved specificity and sensitivity. |
