Respiratory Syncytial Virus glycoprotein F / Alexa Fluor 488 / 11-3-A3

Product Details

Description	This antibody has a high neutralising activity; 90% plaque neutralization titre of 103 (Gimenez et al., 1996). This property makes it potentially useful for the preparation of reagents for prevention and/or for therapeutic use in managing RS virus infections (for example, vaccines or new-generation man-made antibodies).This antibody reacts with the fusion protein F (also named VP70 or F0 protein) and specifically to a subunit of the F protein, F1 (also named 48kDa). The antibody reacts with the RS virus F1 protein from both subgroups A and B of the virus.New-generation man-made antibodies, based on the 11-3-A3 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).Significantly, there was no evidence of antibody dependant enhancement of RS virus infection in vitro for the 11-3-A3 antibody. The enhancing activity was found for other antibodies to the F protein (Gimenez et al 1996).

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.
