Abstract

Recombinant antibody technology is a powerful approach for generation new diagnostic and therapeutic reagents. Recombinant antibodies could be applied in the construction of drug delivery systems, immunotoxins, as intrabodies. They also could be genetically fused to the different marker molecules, such as fluorescent proteins or enzymes for one-step immunodetection of antigens. This paper provides an overview of the properties and current studies on the application of recombinant antibodies.
