Anti-RNA hairpin [BL3-6S97N]

Catalogue Number: AB03300-1.1-BT-ABA

Manufacturer:Vector Laboratories, Inc (ABA)
Type:Recombinant Monoclonal
Shipping Condition:Blue Ice
Unit(s): 1 mg
Host name: Mouse
Clone: BL3-6S97N
Isotype: IgG1
Immunogen: A library of Fabs was generated by rationally varying the composition of the residues in complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of Fab BL3-6. Subsequently, the Fab library was challenged in a phage display selection to recognize and bind the GAAACAC motif.
Application: Crstion

Storage Note

Store at 4⁰C for up to 3 months. Note, this antibody is provided without added preservatives, it is therefore recommed this antibody be handled under sterile conditions. For longer storage, aliquot and store at -20⁰C.

Application Notes

The Fab was generated by directed mutagenesis from the parental Fab BL3-6. The S97N mutation in the complementarity determining region L3 of the Fab improved the binding affinity compared to the parent Fab BL3-6 (Kd = 5 nM). The Fab fragment was also found to bind the affinity-matured GAGACCC hairpin. The crystal structure of the Spinach RNA grafted with GAAACAC loop in complex with Fab BL3-6S97N was determined (Koirala et al., 2018; PMID: 29309709).

Short Description

This reformatted mouse antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse Fab format for improved compatibility with existing reagents assays and techniques.
