HCA061A specifically recognises the idiotypic determinants expressed by the rituximab humanised monoclonal antibody.
Rituximab is a therapeutic reagent directed against the human CD20 cell surface antigen.
HCA061A does not recognise other CD20 antibodies.
Product Form
A bivalent human recombinant Fab selected from the HuCAL® GOLD phage display library. Expressed in E. coli and purified using metal chelate affinity chromatography. This Fab fragment is dimerized via a helix-turn-helix motif. The antibody is tagged with a myc-tag (EQKLISEEDL) and a his-tag (HHHHHH) at the C-terminus of the antibody heavy chain.
Affinity
The monovalent intrinsic affinity of this antibody was measured as KD=4.9 nM by real time, label-free molecular interaction analysis on immobilized rituximab.
Storage
Prior to reconstitution store at +4oC.
After reconstitution store at -20oC.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody.
Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
