CloneID: A2
Antigen Long Description: A phage immune library generated from a long-term non-progressors with HIV neutralizing antibodies in his plasma. The phage library was screened on recombinant soluble gp140 envelope (Env) proteins and the antibody was isolated.
Buffer Composition: PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
Chimeric Use Statement: This full-length chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Human scFv 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
Specificity Statement: The antibody is specific for gp41. It recognizes an epitope localized in the pocket binding domain of the C heptad repeat (CHR) in the ectodomain of gp41, but only in the trimeric context.
Application Notes (Clone): The specificity of the original format of the antibody was confirmed by ELISA analysis (Trott et al., 2014; PMID:24828352).
