== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The structure of the antigen-binding fragment from the monoclonal antibody S64-4 in complex with a pentasaccharide bisphosphate fragment from chlamydial lipopolysaccharide has been determined by x-ray diffraction to 2.6 A resolution. Like the well-characterized antibody S25-2, S64-4 displays a pocket formed by the residues of germline sequence corresponding to the heavy and light chain V genes that binds the terminal Kdo residue of the antigen; however, while S64-4 shares the same heavy chain V gene as S25-2 it has a different light chain V gene. The new V(L) gene codes for a combining site that displays greater affinity, different specificity, and allows a novel antigen conformation that brings a greater number of antigen residues into the combining site than possible in S25-2. Further, while antibodies in the S25-2 family use CDR H3 to discriminate among antigens, S64-4 achieves its specificity via the new light chain V gene and resulting change in antigen conformation. These structures reveal an intriguing parallel strategy where two different combinations of germline-coded V genes can act as starting points for the generation of germline antibodies against chlamydial antigens, and shows how anti-carbohydrate antibodies can exploit the conformational flexibility of this class of antigens to achieve high affinity and specificity independently of CDR H3.
