Pierce's disease is a devastating lethal disease ofVitus vinifera grapevines caused by the bacteriumXylella fastidiosa . There is no cure for Pierce's disease, and control is achieved predominantly by suppressing transmission of the glassy-winged sharpshooter insect vector. We present a simple robust approach for the generation of panels of recombinant single-chain antibodies against the surface-exposed elements ofX. fastidiosa that may have potential use in diagnosis and/or disease transmission blocking studies.In vitro combinatorial antibody ribosome display libraries were assembled from immunoglobulin transcripts rescued from the spleens of mice immunized with heat-killedX. fastidiosa . The libraries were used in a single round of selection against an outer membrane protein, MopB, resulting in the isolation of a panel of recombinant antibodies. The potential use of selected anti-MopB antibodies was demonstrated by the successful application of the 4XfMopB3 antibody in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), a Western blot assay, and an immunofluorescence assay (IFA). These immortalizedin vitro recombinant single-chain antibody libraries generated against heat-killedX. fastidiosa are a resource for the Pierce's disease research community that may be readily accessed for the isolation of antibodies against a plethora ofX. fastidiosa surface-exposed antigenic molecules.
