Preliminary crystallographic studies of the Fab fragment of an anti-azophenylarsonate antibody.

Abstract:

:Single crystals of the Fab fragment of a murine A/J anti-azophenylarsonate monoclonal antibody have been prepared by the vapor diffusion method. Antibody 3A7 uses the same combination of variable region gene segments (VK, JK, VH, JH) as do anti-azophenylarsonate antibodies bearing a predominant cross-reactive idiotype, but utilizes a different D gene segment. The crystals grow in the presence of beta-octylglucoside as tetragonal bipyramids in the space group of either P4(1)2(1)2 or P4(3)3(1)2 and with unit cell dimensions of a = b = 77.9 A, and c = 146.7 A. They diffract X-rays to better than 2.7 A resolution. Data up to 2.7 A resolution have been collected.
