CloneID: 0.5beta
Antigen Long Description: The original antibody was raised by immunizing a mouse with the glycoprotein fraction prepared from H9/HTLV IIIB cell extracts.
Buffer Composition: PBS only.
Uniprot Accession No.: P03377
Specificity Statement: This antibody is specific forth V3 loop of the envelope glycoprotein gp160.
Application Notes (Clone): The original version of this antibody was used for an ELISA on a synthetic 20 amino acid peptide (308-327) based on the sequence of the RP135 region of gp120 from HIV-IIIB (Maeda et al., 1991; PMID:1873503). This antibody was used for a western blot on HTLV-IIIB antigens (Matsushita et al., 1988; PMID:2452899), and on Purified HTLV-IIIB (Skinner et al., 1988; PMID:2456088). The NMR structure of this antibody was determined (Tugarinov et al., 2000; PMID:10801487). The ability of this antibody to neutralize a cell-free HIV infection of H9 cells was assayed. It was indeed able to prevent this infection (Matsushita et al., 1988; PMID:2452899). This antibody was also able to neutralize the HIV infection of AA-5 cells (Skinner et al., 1988; PMID:2456088). This antibody was able to prevent HIV infection in chimpanzees in vivo (Emini et al., 1992; PMID:1741059).
