Phage display technology is an effective approach to the development of the next generation of immunodiagnostic reagents. Naive murine phage display a library of single-chain variable antibodies (scFv) was used to isolate scFv recognizing the diphtheria toxin, an important diagnostic antigen of diphtheria. The diphtheria toxin B subunit-binding clone with affinity constant of 1.13 x 10(7) M(-1) was selected. scFv preserved activity on storage in the course of 8 months.
