Acronym

How does "scFv" correspond to "Single Chain Variable Fragment"? Google shows that "Single Chain Fragment Variable" is also in use, isn't that more accurate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.14.90.154 (talk) 07:32, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fv = Variable Fragment and Fc=Constant Fragment. You should see the "Fv" as a single entity in its own (i.e. sc"Fv"). Technically, if you keep acronyms literally, DNA should be written as something like "DORNA" or "DRNA" as opposed to RNA that would stay RNA. Jmmo20 (talk) 21:38, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
