CloneID: K16-16
Heavy Chain modification: His-Tagged
Antigen Long Description: K16-16 mAb was generated by immnizing BALB/c mice with acetyl aminofluorene-substituted guanosine (Le Guernet al, 1984). RNA derived from this hybridoma clone was then used to construct a phage display library and was selected for by its affinity for AAF-labelled sonicated salmon sperm DNA in an ELISA screen.
Buffer Composition: PBS only.
Chimeric Use Statement: This reformatted mouse antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse scFv (IgG1) format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Specificity Statement: K16-16 binds to AAF-labelled DNA. AAF is used to label DNA and RNA by binding covalently at the C8 position of guanosines; AAF can then be detected using anti-AAF antibodies.
Application Notes (Clone): K16-16 was used to construct a recombinant conjugate by fusing PhoAv bacterial phosphatase. The conjugate was used for one-step immunodetection of DNAs and RNAs in dot-blot, colony and plaque hybridization and in Southern/northern blot hybridization. It has also been used to detect PCR products.
