Antigen Long Description: The original antibody was isolated from a non-immune semisynthetic llama library constructed from blood samples (6 ml) collected from the left jugular vein of three research naïve mature llamas. The specific clones were selected using Luminex xMAP technology in addition to ELISA.
Origin Pub PMID: 18251258
Buffer Composition: PBS only.
Chimeric Use Statement: This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original VHH format for improved compatibility with existing reagents assays and techniques.
Uniprot Accession No.: P02879
Specificity Statement: This antibody binds ricin, specifically the B chain of ricin.
Application Notes (Clone): The binding specificity of this antibody towards ricin was checked using ELISA. The original VHH version of this antibody is reported to bind ricin and ricin B chain with a dissociation constant of 12nM and 10nM respectively. This antibody can be used as a capture molecule in sandwich immunoassays. (PMID:18251258).
