An Fab fragment of a virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibody (DL11) that binds to herpes simplex virus glycoprotein D (HSV gD) has been purified, sequenced and crystallized. The biological activity of the purified Fab was verified by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay, flow cytometry and by neutralization of HSV infectivity. The crystals have the space group P1 with cell dimensions a = 40.2, b = 49.2, c = 63.9 A, alpha = 76.1, beta = 77.4, gamma = 71.6 degrees. The unit-cell volume is consistent with it containing a single Fab molecule. The crystals grow to a maximum size of 0.7 x 0.3 x 0.3 mm and diffract X-rays to greater than 2.2 A resolution. The amino-acid sequences of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of DL11 have been determined. These have been compared to those for other known Fab structures in the Protein Data Bank for selection of a starting model for crystallographic refinement by the molecular-replacement method.
