Flow cytometric screening of aldolase catalytic antibodies

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Aug 2;14(15):4065-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.05.045.

Abstract

High-throughput screening of cells expressing active catalytic antibody clones by flow cytometry is described. A fluorogenic retro-aldol retro-Michael substrate was designed and synthesized with incorporation of a chloromethyl moiety for intracellular retention. Hybridoma or transfected mammalian cells expressing catalytic antibody molecules could be rapidly isolated.
