Sequences of the CDR3s of the best positive clones in an ELISA using cytoplasmically expressed scFv from the 2nd (5 clones) and the 3rd (6 clones) round of selection (Table 2). a Frequency of apparition of the scFv among sequenced clones of the same round. b Yield: mg of scFv purified from 1 liter of cells grown in a flask (OD600 = 5). c WB: detection of tubulin in brain extracts by Western blot. d IF: + means that the scFv is able to reveal microtubule network by Immunofluorescence (Fig. 8). The sequences of the clones 2C1C, 2E11C, 2F12C, 2G4C and 2G9C have been submitted to the EMBL database and their accession numbers are respectively AM886280, AM886281, AM886282, AM886283 and AM886284.
