From
Recombinant Antibody
Specificity
The antibody is specific for Norovirus GII.4.
Alternative Names
UniProt
Immunogen
A phage-displayed antibody library was generated from peripheral blood of healthy persons. The original antibody was isolated by screened using purified virus-like particles (VLPs) of strain Narita 104 (r104, genogroup II, genotype 4).
Application Notes
The specificity of the original format of the antibody was confirmed by ELISA analysis. The blocking activity of the antibody against the interaction of homotypic VLPs with histo-blood group antigens were also assessed as an alternative to neutralization assay. The antibody prevented the binding of r104 to histo-blood group antigens that had been reported to bind r104.
