Application Notes

To determine the antibody's binding affinity to native or modified human LDL, a radioimmunoassay was conducted using the mouse version of this antibody. Immunocytochemistry was performed on atherosclerotic lesions of LDL receptor-deficient rabbits, balloon-catheterized, cholesterol-fed New Zealand white rabbits, and human brain arteries using the mouse version of this antibody (Palinski et al., 1996; PMID: 8698873). The mouse version of this antibody was characterized through various experiments and assays. An antibody absorption experiment was conducted on increasing concentrations of native PAPC, OxPAPC, or microemulsions made from lipids extracted from native LDL or CuOx-LDL. Additionally, it was used in an ELISA performed on antigens in PBS. In a Western blot assay, the alkaline phosphatase-labeled goat anti-mouse IgM version of this antibody was utilized to detect CuOx-LDL and native LDL. A flow cytometric experiment was performed on resident peritoneal macrophages isolated from female Swiss-Webster mice using the original mouse version of this antibody. Furthermore, a binding and degradation assay was carried out on mouse peritoneal macrophages using the mouse version of this antibody (Hoerkkoe et al., 1999; PMID: 9884341). This antibody was also used to measure the extent of LDL oxidation induced by copper through a luminescence signal generated from streptavidin. The streptavidin was conjugated to Aqualite bound to biotinylated antibodies (Sundell et al., 2003; PMID: 12626663). The binding profile of the single-chain variable fragment (scFv) version of this antibody was evaluated through an ELISA performed on various phosphocholine epitopes. These included Cu-OxLDL, phosphocholine-KLH, PC-BSA, POVPC-BSA, and capsular polysaccharide (C-PS) of Streptococcus pneumoniae. The scFv version's ability to bind to apoptotic cells was tested using flow cytometry on thymocytes collected from C57BL/6 mice induced to undergo apoptosis (Que et al., 2018; PMID: 29875409). In another study, the antibody E06 was employed in immunohistochemistry to detect elevated expression of OxPL in irradiated lungs (Cui et al., 2021; PMID: 34546215).

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.
