Application Notes

This antibody was quantified by ELISA and used for latex-agglutination analysis of human IL-2. It was measured to bind human IL-2 with high affinity (Ka ~ 3 x 108 M-1) (Lunev et al., 1990; PMID: 1718463). This antibody has been used successfully for WB and FACS (Stratieva-Taneeva et al., 1993; PMID: 8359822). The crystal structure characterization of the Fab version of this antibody was performed (Fokin et al., 2000; PMID: 11040993). Further crystallization of the Fab version of this antibody with an antigenic peptide revealed that the antibody-antigen complexation involves a significant rearrangement of the epitope-containing region of the IL-2 with retention of the α-helical character of the epitope fragment (Afonin et al., 2001; PMID: 11468348).

Short Description

This chimeric human antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
