Antibody DetailsProduct DetailsReactivity Species Chikungunya ⋅ Virus Expression Host HEK-293 Immunogen B cells of a survivor of natural CHIKV infection Product Concentration ≥ 5.0 mg/ml Endotoxin Level ≤ 1.0 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method Purity ≥95% monomer by analytical SEC Formulation This recombinant monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Product Preparation Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal-free facility using only In vitro protein-free cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A, or aggregates. Storage and Handling Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one year. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at ≥ -70°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. Country of Origin USA Shipping Standard Overnight on Blue Ice. Other Applications Reported In Literature ? ELISA N Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change. DescriptionSpecificity CHKV-24 targets the CHIKV E2 glycoprotein. Antigen Distribution E2 glycoprotein is expressed on the surface of CHIKV. Background Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted alphavirus that causes epidemics globally and has been declared a notable disease by the CDC1,2. Symptoms include high fever, myalgia, rash, and severe polyarthritis which can persist for long after acute infection. CHIKV is an enveloped virus with an 11.8-kb single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genome with two open reading frames3,4. There are three main genotypes, having 95.2 to 99.8% amino acid identity: Asian, West African, and East/Central/South African (ECSA). The mature CHIKV virion is comprised of a nucleocapsid protein C and two glycoproteins, E1 and E25. E1 participates in virus fusion. E2 functions in attachment to cells. E1 and E2 form 80 trimeric spikes on the virus surface6.
Co-circulation of CHIKV with other arboviruses, such as dengue, Zika, Mayaro, and yellow fever, occurs in many countries, posing significant difficulties for diagnosis2. Monoclonal antibodies (MAb) can be used both for diagnosis7 and as a therapeutic agent5,8,9. CHIKV can be rapidly detected by an immunochromatographic assay using MAbs against the CHIKV envelope protein7. Antigen DetailsProtein PubMed Research Area Chikungunya . Infectious Disease .
