Antigen Long Description: The original antibody 4-123-36 was isolated from a human single domain antibody (scFv) library by screening the library against extracellular portions of the human IL-8. Affinity maturation of this clone using mutagenesis by error-prone PCR resulted in the generation of M36-11.
Buffer Composition: PBS only.
Chimeric Use Statement: This chimeric mouse antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Human IgG1 format for improved compatibility with existing reagents assays and techniques.
Uniprot Accession No.: P10145
Specificity Statement: This antibody binds human interleukin-8. Interleukin-8 is a chemotactic factor that attracts neutrophils, basophils, and T-cells, but not monocytes. It is also involved in neutrophil activation. It is released from several cell types in response to an inflammatory stimulus.
Application Notes (Clone): The binding of this affinity-maturated antibody to hIL8 was analyzed using ELISA. This antibody is capable of blocking the biological activity of human interleukin 8 at a concentration of 1 and 10 μg/mL in a neutrophil chemotaxis assay (PMID: 20718039).
