The mAb CR3014 was isolated from a semisynthetic single-chain variable antibody fragment (scFv) phage display library, expressed as human IgG1 molecules and purified as described previously [
22 (link),
27 (link)]. An immune scFv phage display library was constructed from lymphocytes of a convalescent SARS patient from Singapore essentially as described [
28 (link)]. From this library, CR3022 scFv was selected for binding to UV-inactivated SARS-CoV, essentially as described [
22 (link)]. SARS-CoV (Frankfurt 1 strain [FM1]) was prepared as described and UV-irradiated for 15 min (UVB radiation, 280–350 nm; λ
max, 306 nm) at 4 °C. CR3022 scFv was converted into a human IgG1 format and expressed and purified as described. Anti-rabies mAb CRJA served as negative control.
