Key features and details | |
Cat. No. | MABL-3036 |
Name | Anti-Testosterone mAbs |
Clone No. | AFD- TM-4 |
From | Recombinant Antibody |
Isotype | Engineer antibody |
Application | functional assay, ELISA |
Species Reactivity | Species independent |
Basic Information | |
Specificity | The antibody is specific for the testosterone molecule. Testosterone is the primary sex hormone and anabolic steroid in males. |
Alternative Name | ChEBI:17347 |
UniProt | |
Immunogen | This antibody was raised by panning against a library that has earlier been selected twice for activity against testosterone-biotin(testosterone3-(5-(6-(5- (biotin)pentanamido)hexanamido)pentylcarbamoyl) propanoate) coupled to avidin-coated magnetic beads. |
Application Notes | The binding characteristics of the original version of this antibody (human scFv) to testosterone and biotinylated testosterone were characterized via competitive ELISA. It exhibited an IC50 value of 2 and 4 nM for testosterone and biotinylated testosterone, respectively (Persson et al., 2008; PMID: 18480091). |

Note on publication | The original publication details the in vitro evolution of an antibody fragment population, focusing on enhancing their hapten binding properties, particularly targeting testosterone as a model antigen, resulting in a considerable increase in affinity and the identification of novel variants with different fine-specificities. |
