CloneID: A13-d6.3
Heavy Chain modification: Fc Silent™
Antigen Long Description: d6.3 was generated by immunizing mice with PrV.
Buffer Composition: PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
Chimeric Use Statement: This chimeric human antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG2b format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Available Custom Conjugation Options: AP, HRP, Fluorescein, APC, PE, Biotin Type A, Biotin Type B, Streptavidin, FluoroProbes 647H, Atto488, APC/Cy7, PE/Cy7
Uniprot Accession No.: A0A142I9U7
Specificity Statement: d6.3 Fab fragment binds to the core fragment of the PrV glycoprotein H (gH) ectodomain (aa 107–639) which is the membrane-proximal end of the protein in the ΔgL-Pass PrV variant of PrV. The antibody contacts residues 332-373 (peripheral helices α6 and α7 of domain III of gH contribute most of the residues that form the epitope recognized by d6.3). PrV is a porcine herpesvirus belonging to the alpha-Herpesvirinae subfamily and is known to cause Aukeszky's disease in pigs. gH is a type I membrane portein and can interact non-covalently with gL via the large gH ectodomain.
Application Notes (Clone): d6.3 neutralizes the ΔgL-Pass PrV variant of PrV and can stain ΔgL-Pass PrV variant but not the wild-type PrV by immunostaining. The epitope of d6.3 is not blocked by the formation of the gH/gL heterodimer. The d6.3Fab fragment (obtained through papain digestion) can be complexed with the core fragment of the PrV glycoprotein H (gH) ectodomain (aa 107–639) for structural studies by crystallography.
