CloneID: 1G2
Antigen Long Description: The original antibody was isolated from EBV transformed human peripheral blood derived B cells derived from hCMV-infected donors.
Origin Pub PMID: 26365435
Buffer Composition: PBS only.
Uniprot Accession No.: P13201
Specificity Statement: This antibody is specific for a surface epitope in antigenic domain 5 (AD-5), also termed Domain I (Dom I), of Human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) (strain Towne), also called Human herpesvirus 5 (HHV-5). Dom I resides between amino acid residues 133 to 343 of the gB of hCMV strain AD169 and has the following sequence: IVAHTFKVRVYQKVLTFRRSYAYIYTTYLLGSNTEYVAPPMWEIHHINKFAQCYSSYSRVIG

Application Notes (Clone): The original version of the antibody was used in a neutralization assay against human cytomegalovirus (hCMV). It was found to neutralize hCMV with high potency — it neutralized the virus with an IC50 of 0.1 μg/ml and an IC90 of 0.4 μg/ml (US9346874B2). The Fab version of this antibody was generated and its structure in complex with hCMV gB was explored using crystallography. It was also used in neutralization assays, surface staining of full-length gB in flow cytometry, and gB immunoprecipitation (Chandramouli et al., 2015; PMID: 26365435).
