IGEM:MIT/2005/Receiver Head Unit: scFv
From OpenWetWare
POC
Jenny
Function
- To provide a landing site for ligand.
- To cause dimerization/conformational change in the Receiver.
- To transmit signal to Receiver.
- Will use anti-fluorescein scFv for test phase.
- Ultimately use anti-rabbit scFv for system.

Experiments
- express scfv as single protein, test with biotin / streptaviden??
- Test for tags that surround scFv sequence
- Flag tag on 3' end
- Use antibodies that recognize those tags.
- Western, indirect immunofluorescence, permiabilize
- Flag tag on 3' end
