scFv encodes single-chain Fv of an anti-digoxin antibody fragment and was part of the vector as received. Intermediate plasmid pB30D-SalI was deleted in part of scFv and of cat, which encodes the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase; bla encodes the β-lactamase. pASK-MBD was constructed by Jonathan Caguiat (Song et al., 2004). The name pSD-MBD denotes surface-displayed MB.
