Short Description

This is a reformatted human IgG1 Fc Silent Fc Silent™ antibody, based on the original human IgG1 format, created for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.

Application Notes

The original antibody (human IgG1) was generated and confirmed to specifically recognize the target via ELISA. A Fab version of it was generated and tested for neutralization. This antibody demonstrated potent in vitro neutralization (IC₅₀ ~ 0.51 µg/mL) and both prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy in a murine chronic LCMV model, with complete viral clearance and protection from weight loss. Furthermore, this antibody enabled high-resolution cryoEM of the LCMV GP trimer in both apo and Fab-bound states, defining a quaternary, pre-fusion-specific epitope (Moon-Walker et al., 2023; PMID: 36990092). In vitro, this antibody fully neutralized cell-free LCMV at 5 µg/mL and was used to demonstrate that ~50% of viral spread occurs via antibody-resistant, direct cell-to-cell nanotube transfer (Byford et al., 2024; PMID: 39578605).
