CloneID: A8
Antigen Long Description: The original antibody was generated by immunizing alpacas with human IgA, creating the appropriate phage display library, and panning against the original target.
Buffer Composition: PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
Chimeric Use Statement: This is a chimeric antibody, developed from the original camelid VHH antibody, specifically engineered for enhanced compatibility with existing reagents, assays, and techniques.
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: This antibody is specific for human IgA. It has been observed to have a weak cross-reactivity with human IgG and no cross-reactivity with mouse IgG.
Application Notes (Clone): The binding specificity and affinity of the original camelid (alpaca) single-domain antibody (sdAb; VHH) were tested in an ELISA. It exhibited a high affinity for human IgA and a low affinity for human IgG. This antibody was used to generate an anti-human IgA and anti-avian influenza nucleoprotein bi-specific construct together with Ab04650 [A65], and their stability in vivo was compared (CN111116752B).
