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 and is conjugated to horseradish peroxidase.
Affinity
The monovalent intrinsic affinity of this antibody was measured as KD=10 nM by real time, label-free molecular interaction analysis on immobilized rituximab.
