A single-chain antibody, BG4, was isolated from the Sanger phage display library (2.3 × 1010 single-chain antibody clones) through selection using a panel of intramolecular G-quadruplex structures. Two rounds of selection in solution were carried out using streptavidin-coated beads (Dynabeads M-280 Streptavidin, Invitrogen) with 1 μM of biotinylated G-quadruplex oligonucleotides for the first round of selection and 100 nM for the second round. The selected binders were then cloned into the pSANG10 expression plasmid for antibody production. Screening of the selected binders was performed by DELFIA (Dissociation-Enhanced Lanthenide Fluorescent Immunoassay) using an anti-FLAG europium-conjugated antibody (Sigma) and the DELFIA reagent (Perkin Elmer). Signal intensity was detected at 615 nm with a PHERAstar microplate reader (BMG, Labtech) using Time-Resolved Fluorescence detection.
