• Antibody libraries are constructed by the genomic information coding<br />

for <strong>antibody</strong> variable domains, which can be derived from B cells of<br />

immune or naïve donors. Antibodies are the first proteins which were<br />

successfully displayed on the surface of phage by fusing the coding<br />

sequence of scFv or Fab to the coat protein. Due to the smaller size,<br />

scFv libraries are genetically more stable than Fab libraries, while Fab<br />

libraries lack the tendency to form higher molecular weight species,<br />

such as dimers and trimers, which can simplify the selection and<br />

characterization. Through binding the specific target, the interest<br />

<strong>antibody</strong> can then be eluted and retrieved.
