Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Described herein are new recognition elements (antibodies or functional fragments thereof) that effectively bind to trinitrotoluene (TNT). Also disclosed is a single chain fragment recognition element.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An isolated and purified antibody or functional fragment thereof, comprising: a heavy chain with at least 85% sequence identity to SEQ ID No: 1 and a light chain with at least 85% sequence identity to SEQ ID No: 2, with binding activity to trinitrotoluene. 2 . The isolated and purified antibody or functional fragment thereof of claim 1 , wherein the heavy chain has at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID No: 1. 3 . The isolated and purified antibody or functional fragment thereof of claim 1 , wherein the heavy chain has at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID No: 1. 4 . The isolated and purified antibody or functional fragment thereof of claim 1 , wherein the heavy chain is SEQ ID No: 1 with one or more mutations selected from the group consisting of: N35S, Q39K, L45S, and W47Y. 5 . The isolated and purified antibody or functional fragment thereof of claim 1 , wherein the light chain has at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID No: 2. 6 . The isolated and purified antibody or functional fragment thereof of claim 1 , wherein the light chain has at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID No: 2.
