What are the types of combinatorial antibody libraries?
Posted July 21, 2022
Answer
There are four types of combinatorial antibody libraries: immune, naive, semi-synthetic, and synthetic libraries.
- Immune libraries use antibodies from immunized humans or animals.
- Naïve libraries use antibodies from unimmunized subjects or synthetic human genes.
- Semi-synthetic libraries are controlled by oligonucleotides synthesis.
- Synthetic libraries are composed of fully artificial, random codons assimilated into CDRs.
