Abstract

The Fab fragment of a monoclonal antibody, AN02, specific for a 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy-dinitrophenyl hapten was crystallized both with and without bound hapten. Both crystals formed in phosphate-buffered saline (150 mm-NaCl, 10 mm-Na2PO4, 0·02% (w/v) NaN3 (pH 7·4) at 4 °C and diffracted beyond 2·2 Å resolution (Å = 0·1 nm). Fab with bound hapten crystallizes in space group P6122 or P6522, with cell dimensions a = b = 73·23 A ̊, c = 373·8 A ̊, α = β = 90 ° and γ = 120 °. Unoccupied Fab also crystallizes in space group P6122 or P6522 with cell dimensions a = 73 A ̊, c = 377 A ̊, α = β = 90 ° and γ = 120 °.
