Name | Anti-HTT-N17 mAbs |
Clone No. | AFD- scFv-C4 |
From | Recombinant Antibody |
Isotype | Engineer antibody |
Application | crystallization, in vitro, SPR, ELISA, IF |
Species Reactivity | Human |
Basic Information | |
Specificity | The antibody is specific for huntingtin. It binds to the first 17 residues of huntingtin [HTT(1- 17)]. |
Alternative Name | C4; HTT; Huntingtin; HD protein; Huntington disease protein |
UniProt | P42858 |
Immunogen | The original antibody was isolated screening a naïve human single-chain Fv antibody phage- display library against HTT(1-17). |
Application Notes | The original format of the antibody could inhibit the aggregation of mHTT-exon1 protein fragments in vitro. The crystal structure of the antibody in complex with HTT(1-17) was determined (De Genst et al., 2015; PMID: 25861763). The specificity of the antibody was confirmed by ELISA analysis. The original format of the antibody-targeted the HD-Q103-myc antigen to cell nuclei in COS-7 cells by immunofluorescence microscopy. The binding affinity of the antibody to HTT(1-17) was measured by surface plasmon resonance (Kd= 7.9 nM) (Lecerf et al., 2001; PMID: 11296304). The antibody selectively bound diffuse htt, but not aggregated htt, as shown by immunofluorescence analysis. Immunoprecipitation experiments in stably transfected, intrabody-expressing STHdhQ111 cells demonstrated that the antibody bound a small fraction of wild-type and mutant endogenous full-length htt (Miller et al., 2005; PMID: 15837560). |
