Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) regulates serum LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) by interacting with the LDL receptor (LDLR) and is an attractive therapeutic target for LDL-C lowering. The epitope mapping of this antibody was done using western blotting. This antibody was able to identify a 16 kDa prodomain of recombinant PCSK9 but not the 60 kDa band comprising the catalytic and C-terminal domain in western blot. Surface plasmon resonance demonstrated that Ab6E2 (IgG1) bound to PCSK9 with a KD of 10.5 +/- 1.2 nM. Biolayer interferometry experiments suggested that the formation of proper α-helix is required for the binding interaction of this antibody. This antibody was also used for immunoprecipitation of secreted native PCSK9 from HepG2, IM-95m and H2073 cell l ins and of recombinant PCSK9 (PMID: 30653992).
This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format for improved compatibility with existing reagents assays and techniques.
