After four rounds of panning selection, the scFv antibodies of randomly chosen clones were expressed and their binding specificity to α-enolase protein was verified using competitive ELISA, flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining. Accordingly, in the present study, we generated and characterized the anti-␣-enolase polyclonal IgY antibodies in chicken and monoclonal scFv antibodies by a phage display system using ELISA, Western blotting, flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining. EnL2 and EnL5 scFv antibodies purified as a single band on SDS-PAGE (data not shown) were able to detect ␣-enolase protein in PE089 cells, and the binding signal is comparable to that of commercially available rabbit polyclonal antibodies specific for ␣-enolase as demonstrated in Fig. 7 . ./cache/cord-298910-2601n7a9.txt ./txt/cord-298910-2601n7a9.txt
