Legal Information

ZooMAb is a registered trademark of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany

Physical form

Purified human monoclonal antibody IgG1 in buffer containing PBS with 5% Trehalose without preservatives

Reconstitution

300 µg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Specificity

Clone hu2B3E5 is a chimeric ZooMAb monoclonal antibody that specifically detects SARS-CoV-1/2 Spike protein. It targets an epitope within the extracellular domain.ZHU1076 combines variable regions of mouse monoclonal antibody anti-SARS-CoV-1/2 Spike protein (ZMS1076) and constant region of human IgG1. We recommend an anti-human antibody as secondary antibody for detection (Example: AP309P Goat anti-human IgG antibody HRP).

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.

Target description

SARS-CoV-1/2 Spike glycoprotein (UniProt: P59594/P0DTC2; also known as S glycoprotein, E2, Peplomer protein) is encoded by the S gene (Gene ID: 1489668/43740568) in SARS-CoV-1/2 virus. The SARS-CoV-2 is a positive-strand RNA virus that causes severe respiratory syndrome in human. The mature SARS-CoV-2 contains 4 structural proteins: Envelope (E), Membrane (M), Nucleocapsid (N), and the Spike protein (S). E and M proteins help in viral assembly and N protein is needed for RNA synthesis. The S protein is a single-pass type I, homotrimeric, membrane glycoprotein that is responsible for virus binding and entry into host cell. It is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-12), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature protein that contains an extracellular domain (aa 13-1213), a transmembrane domain (aa 1214-1234), and a cytoplasmic domain 1235-1273). The S protein is further processed into S1 (aa 13-685) and S2 (aa 686-1273) subunits by host cell furin. The presence of a furin polybasic cleavage site in S protein from SARS-CoV-2 sets it apart from S protein in SARS-CoV that possesses a monobasic S1/S2 cleavage site. The S1 subunit has the receptor binding domain (RBD; aa 319-541) that mediates entry of SARS-CoV-2 into sensitive cells through the peptidase domain of host Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) with high affinity (KD = 15 nM). The S2 protein, which is reported to be well conserved, is responsible for membrane fusion. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals. This chimeric version was generated using FC region of human IgG.
