CloneID: FC44
Heavy Chain modification: His-tagged
Antigen Long Description: The original antibody was isolated from a naive phage displayed library of llama VHH. The library was panned against HCEC target cells.
Origin Pub PMID: 11772942
Buffer Composition: PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
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 HCEC.
Application Notes (Clone): The specificity of the original format of the antibody was confirmed by ELISA analysis (US8715659B2; Muruganandam et al., 2002; PMID: 11772942). The original format of the antibody bound to the vesicular and the membrane fractions of HCEC, and it was taken up by living HCEC, as shown by fluorescence microscopy. The antibody could transmigrate across an in vitro human blood-brain barrier (BBB) model. The antibody was also also detected in the brain after i.v. injection into mice (Muruganandam et al., 2002; PMID: 11772942). The antibody was able to transport across rat BBB, as demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo studies (Xiao et al., 2013; PMID: 23840214).
