Application Notes

The binding specificity and characterization of this antibody towards Cn2 toxin of scorpion Centruroicles noxius was tested using ELISA and RIA. This antibody was capable of inhibiting binding of C. noxius toxin 2 to rat brain membranes in vitro and neutralizing the toxin acitivity in vivo in mice (PMID: 1371253). It was reported that the Fab fragment of this antibody was capable of neutralizing both the Cn2 toxin and whole soluble venom of scorpion Centruroides noxius (PMID: 8875771). The scFv version of this atnbidoy did not shoe any neutralization acitivity in vivo due to its less stability (PMID: 15713481).

Short Description

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.
