| Research Abstract |
Cartilaginous fish possess a unique immunoglobulin new antigen receptor(IgNAR) which is composed of only two heavy chains. Because of its simple and unique structure, the variable region of the shark IgNAR is suitable for the production of an artificial monoclonal antibody against fish and shellfish pathogens. Here, we cloned cDNA encoding IgNAR from the banded houndshark Triakis scyllium. The phage display library, possessing a variable region of the IgNAR, was constructed and clones specifically binding to a certain antigen were isolated
