Application Notes

This antibody binds extracellular domain of human aquaporin 4 with a very high binding affinity. The binding of this antibody inhibits the binding of NMO-IgG to AQP4 (PMID: 23746426). The binding affinity of this antibody for human AQP4 M23 isoform expressed on the surface of baculovirus and CHO cells was tested with ELISA (PMID: 26398585; WO2014196658). The binding characterization of this antibody was done using flow cytometry. This antibody can be used for the immunoprecipitation of human AQP4 but not mouse AQP4 (WO2014196658; PMID: 23909421). This antibody is not suitable for detection of denatured human AQP4 in a western blot assay (WO2014196658).

Short Description

This chimeric human antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG2b format for improved compatibility with existing reagents assays and techniques.
