Recombinant monoclonal antibody to Major capsid protein L1. Manufactured using AbAb’s Recombinant Platform with variable regions (i.e. specificity) from the hybridoma 28F10.
UniProt Accession Number of Target Protein: Q81971
Alternative Name(s) of Target: L1; ORF putative L1; Major capsid protein L1
Immunogen: The original version of this antibody was raised by immunizing a mouse with HPV58 and HPV59 VLPs.
Specificity: This antibody is specific for the HPV59 FG loop of a single monomer.
Application Notes: The original version of this antibody was used for surface plasmon resonance on HPV58 and HPV59 pentamers. The structure of the antibody was determined using x-ray diffraction. Further the structure of the antibody was determined using cryo-EM (Zhihai et al., 2017; PMID:28951471).
Antibody first published in:
Li et al. Crystal Structures of Two Immune Complexes Identify Determinants for Viral Infectivity and Type-Specific Neutralization of Human Papillomavirus mBio. 2017 Sep 26;8(5):e00787-17. PMID:28951471
Note on publication:
The original paper shows that the epitopes of A12A3 are clustered in the DE loops of two adjacent HPV58 L1 monomers, whereas 28F10 recognizes the HPV59 FG loop of a single monomer.
