The original antibody format (Mouse IgG3) was generated and evaluated. Its specificity was determined by FELISA. It exhibited a binding pattern of OAc- >> MCPS, with 50% binding observed at approximately 0.1 µg/mL and >3 µg/mL, respectively, under the assay conditions. This indicates a strong preference for the de-O-acetylated serogroup C capsular polysaccharide. The original antibody's pI was measured to be in the range of 8.3-8.6 (Garcia-Ojeda et al., 2000; PMID: 10603394). Surface plasmon resonance analysis indicated lower avidity with a preference for the OAc- surface, as shown by greater concentration-dependent binding to OAc-; however, kinetic studies did not reflect this preference in dissociation half-lives. Furthermore, in inhibition experiments, it partially blocked the binding of conjugate vaccine immune sera to OAc- surfaces, achieving less than 40% inhibition (Garcia-Ojeda, 2004; PMID: 15155652).
This is a reformatted mouse IgG3 Fc Silent™ antibody, based on the original mouse IgG3 format, created for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
