Application Notes

The ability of this antibody to bind vaccinia virus has been confirmed using ELISA (Su, 2007). Both full -length and fab fragemtns of mAb-7D11, are able to neutralize VACV infection in plaque reduction-neutralization tests. However, 7D11-Fab required over 100 times greater concentrations of protein to give a similar level of neutralization to 7D11-F(ab')2, indicating that bivalency plays a role in the capacity of mAb-7D11 to efficiently neutralize VACV. Finally, as the fab forms a stable complex with L1 protein, it has been used in X-ray crystallography studies to understand the basis of the conformational specificity of mAb-7D11 recognition (Su, 2007).

Short Description

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