• Target description: Hexon protein (UniProt: P03277; also known as CP-H, Protein II) is encoded by L3 gene (Gene ID: 2652998) in Adenovirus. Adenoviruses are large (65-80 nm), non-enveloped viruses containing a dsDNA genome. They typically cause mild infections involving the upper or lower respiratory tract, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, or conjunctiva. However, rare manifestations of adenovirus infections may include hemorrhagic cystitis, hepatitis, hemorrhagic colitis, pancreatitis, nephritis, or encephalitis. They also are used gene delivery vectors. They also have the ability to trigger cell proliferation by interfering with host cellular anti-oncogenes. The principal component of adenovirus is the homotrimeric hexon and there are 240 on the faces and edges of the capsid with the pentons consisting of the penton bases and extended fibers on the 12 fivefold apices. The size of the hexon molecule can vary with the serotype. The base of each hexon molecule has one loop and two eight-stranded jelly rolls that are important for interacting with neighboring capsomeres. Other so-called minor components: IIIa, VI, VIII and IX are also associated with the capsid. There are six other structural components situated in the virus core, of which five are associated with the double stranded DNA genome and the remaining component is the 23K virion protease that plays a vital role in the assembly of the virion. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
• Physical form: Purified recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb® formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.
• 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.
• 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.
