CloneID: AbAb01-CCP
Buffer Composition: PBS only.
Chimeric Use Statement: This is a reformatted human IgGA2 antibody, based on the original human scFv format, created for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Specificity Statement: This antibody can detect cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP), which is a serological marker for rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis. Citrulline is a nonstandard amino acid that is produced by diminution of arginine residue present on certain human proteins by the peptidyl arginine-deiminase (PAD) enzyme. The release of PAD from dying cells citrullinates extracellular proteins that contain arginine. Citrullination appears to be an inflammation-dependent process since it is present in many inflammatory tissues.
Application Notes (Clone): This antibody can be used for the detection of cyclic citrullinated peptides in a sample using ELISA (CN110272497).
