Blast search alignment for F1.1 was closest to Macaca fasicu-laris Ab derived from a phage display library vs. hepatitis A (not shown), but the others were not. Δ = Change from germline; VH = variable heavy chain; CDR 1, 2 and 3 = complement determining regions 1, 2 and 3; JH = junction heavy variable to heavy constant region; NI = not identifiable; bp = base pairs.
