Application Notes

To research the capsid of HSV-1, the mouse version of this antibody was used to immunoprecipitate the capsid of HSV-1 and characterized using ELISA on HSV-1 capsids (Newcomb et al., 1996; PMID: 8918599). To assess the structure of the herpes simplex virus capsid, proteins from BHK-21 cells infected with HSV-1 were immunoblotted with the mouse version of this antibody. Furthermore, the proteins from the BHK-21 cells infected with HSV-1 were immunoprecipitated with the mouse version of this antibody. The immunoprecipitated capsids bound to the mouse version of this antibody were then inspected using cryoelectron microscopy (Spencer et al., 1997; PMID: 9123829). While characterizing the mechanism of HSV-1 nucleocapsid egress, the mouse version of this antibody was used for immunofluorescence on Vero cells transfected with chimeric EGFP and/or infected with HSV-1 (Guan et al., 2014; PMID: 25036476).

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.
