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).
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.
