F Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: RSHZ19 (Felvizumab)]

CAT#: TA386084

Recombinant Anti-RSV (Clone RSHZ19 (Felvizumab))

Specifications

Product Data

• Clone Name: RSHZ19 (Felvizumab)
• Applications: ELISA
• Reactivities: Respiratory Syncytial Virus
• Modifications: This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Human IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
• Host: Rabbit
• Isotype: IgG, kappa
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Immunogen: This antibody was prepared by the humanization of an F protein-specific murine MAb, RSV19. More specifically, molecular techniques were used to insert the complementarity determining regions from murine RSV19 into a human IgG1 heavy and k light chain-variable domain framework.
• Specificity: This antibody is specific for the conserved fusion (F) protein of RSV.
  
  Though shown to be safe and well-tolerated (Everitt, 1996) and protective against RSV infection in BALB/c mice and cotton rats (Wyde, 1995), this antibody did not demonstrate efficacy in a Phase 3 study (Reichert, 2008). In in vitro studies, palivizumab, another humanized Mab specific for the F protein of RSV, was 4 to 5-fold more potent than felvizumab in neutralising RSV (Scott, 1999).
• Formulation: PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
• Concentration: lot specific
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Storage: Please store at 4°C for up to 3 months. For longer storage, aliquot and store at -20°C. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
