The biological activities of many acylated molecules are lipid dependent. Lipids, however, are poorly immunogenic or non-immunogenic. We employed a phage display semi-synthetic human antibody library to isolate anti-lipid antibodies. Selection was done against methyl palmitate, a 16 carbon aliphatic
