Number of unique clones based on DNA sequence. Thirty-two codons are used to encode all 20 amino acids at each position.
Phage-expressed libraries were plated on XL-1 blue/agar lawns at 500-1,000 plaques per 100-mm dish.
Positives are defined as clones that were identified in the initial screen, replated, and verified in a second capture lift assay.
Soluble Fab was titrated against immobilized αvβ3 in an ELISA format. Based on comparison of the inflection point of the titration profiles, clones that displayed ≈3-fold enhanced affinity were selected for further characterization.
