Application Notes (Clone): This catalytic antibody binds to DNA oligomers both single- and double-stranded, irrespective of the sequence, showing DNA-hydrolytic activity. DNA is the principle storage of genetic information and usually sequestered within the nucleus in Eukaryotes. Extracellular DNA is a key danger signal for the immune system and an antigen to disease-causing auto-antibodies (incl. DNA-hydrolysing antibodies) e.g. in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Antibody formats comprising different numbers of variable domains may be useful tools in investigating the significance of these catalytic antibodies in disease.
