Dot-plots of the binding of single chain Fv (scFv) to botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT)/Hi. The ability of each yeast-displayed scFv to bind BoNT/Hi holotoxin was determined by flow cytometry. Binding of each scFv to BoNT/H LC-HN is shown as a positive control. Binding was detected using mAb 6F5.4 [12] or 6H1 (for 74F1 and 74G6) and is shown on the y-axis. The level of scFv display is shown on the x-axis. The green gated population are those yeast that display scFv on their surface. Mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) values are shown within each dot-plot. The negative control MFI (yeast stained with secondary antibody only) was 94.2 ± 15.7. A test MFI > two standard deviations from control (>125.6) was considered positive for binding BoNT/H LC-HN or BoNT/Hi.
