This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Human IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
The original form of this antibody (human IgG1) binds human TPO with a Kd of 0.29 nM (Chazenbalk et al., 1993; PMID: 7686925). Competition assays revealed that this antibody binds a distinct epitope compared to clone TR1.9 (Chazenbalk et al., 1993; PMID: 7686925). Further competition studies demonstrated that this antibody inhibits TPO autoantibodies in patients' sera by interacting with serum TPO autoantibodies (Chazenbalk et al., 1993; PMID: 7505290). Alongside clones TR1.9, SP1.4, and TR1.8, this antibody maps to the immunodominant region of TPO recognized by autoantibodies in patient sera (Nishikawa et al., 1994; PMID: 7512572). This antibody has also been employed in flow cytometry to detect cells expressing surface TPO (Jaume et al., 1999; PMID: 10323395).
