CloneID: WD11F
Antigen Long Description: An immune phage display library derived from the peripheral blood lymphocytes of a llama that had been immunized with an equine vaccine that includes killed WEEV (West Nile Innovator + VEWT) was generated. The antibody was selected by panning the library against recombinant envelope (E2/E3E2) protein from WEEV.
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 E2/E3E2 envelope protein.Two envelope proteins, glycoproteins E1 and E2, associate as trimers of E1-E2 dimers on the viral surface, and make up 80 spikes on the viral surface.
Application Notes (Clone): The binding affinity of the VHH fragment for the WEEV E3E2 recombinant protein was measured by surface plasmon resonance (Kd= 7.2 ×10^−9 M). The ability of the antibody to detect the recombinant protein in a MagPlex sandwich immunoassay was confirmed (Liu et al., 2018; PMID: 31544894).
