Recombinant monoclonal antibody to A27L, Protein A27. Manufactured using AbAb’s Recombinant Platform with variable regions (i.e. specificity) from the hybridoma 8E3.
UniProt Accession Number of Target Protein: P11258
Alternative Name(s) of Target: A27L; Protein A27; OPG154; VACWR150
Immunogen: The original antibody was raised by immunizing a BALB/c mouse with VACVWR.
Specificity: This antibody is specific for the sequence DVQTGRRPYE of protein A27.
Application Notes: The original version of this antibody was used for an ELISA on recombinant VACV A27 protein. This antibody was used for an in vitro flow cytometry neutralization assay (Kaever et al., 2016; PMID:26889021). It showed the ability to prevent 90% of virus from binding to Vero E6 cells. The structure of this antibody was determined using x-ray crystallography (Kaever et al., 2016; PMID:26889021).
