Respiratory Syncytial Virus glycoprotein F Monoclonal / Alexa Fluor 488 / 11-2-F3

Product Details
Description This antibody reacts with the RS virus fusion glycoprotein F (also named VP70 or F0 protein), specifically to a subunit of the F protein, F1 (also named VGP48 or 48kDa), from both subgroups A and B of RS virus.This antibody has a high neutralising activity; 90% plaque neutralization titre of 102.2 (Gimenez et al 1996). This property makes it potentially useful for the preparation of reagents for prevention and/or therapeutic use (for example, vaccines or new-generation of man-made antibodies). The characterisation of the epitope of this antibody which induce high neutralising activity will be useful for the preparation of reagents (for example vaccine) to prevent RS virus infection. A RS virus vaccine is not yet available. A vaccine could be used to increase the maternal immunity to RS virus, which would then be passed to the newborn baby to provide passive immunity.The further characterisation of the epitope recognised by this antibody, which possesses a high neutralising activity, will be useful for the preparation of reagents to prevent RS virus infection. New-generation man-made antibodies, based on the 11-2-F3 antibody, could complement the effectiveness of polivizumab (Synagis), which is used to prevent but not treat established RS virus infections (Nature Biotechnology, 2013, 31, 952).

About Alexa Fluor 488
Alexa Fluor™ 488 (AF488, Alexa 488) has an excitation peak at 488 nm and an emission peak at 496 nm, and is considered a high-performance alternative to FITC. Alexa 488 is one of the most popular Alexa Fluor™ dyes and is widely used in Fluorescence Microscopy, flow cytometry, and for staining low expression markers. It is bright, highly photostable, resistant to pH changes, and less susceptible to photobleaching. Alexa 488 and is similar in size, brightness and application to DyLight™ 488, iFluor® 488 and CF®488A.
