• Specificity: Clone 4B3 is a ZooMAb rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects human poliovirus receptor. It targets an epitope within 16 amino acids from the N-terminal region.
• Immunogen: KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 16 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human poliovirus receptor.
• Application: Anti-PVR (CD155), clone 4B3 ZooMAb, Cat. No. ZRB1036, is a recombinant Rabbit monoclonal antibody that targets PVR (CD155/Poliovirus receptor) and is tested for use in Affinity Binding Assay, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry, and Western Blotting.
• Target description: Poliovirus receptor (UniProt: P15151; also known as Nectin-like protein 5, NECL-5, CD155) is encoded by the PVR (also known as PVS) gene (Gene ID: 5817) in human. CD155 is a single-pass type I, N-glycosylated, membrane protein that mediates NK cell adhesion and triggers NK cell effector functions. It is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues and many human tumors are reported to significantly upregulate its expression. It binds two different NK cell receptors: CD96 and CD226 and these interactions accumulate at the cell-cell contact site, leading to the formation of a mature immunological synapse between NK cell and the target cell. This may trigger adhesion and secretion of lytic granules and IFN-gamma and activate cytotoxicity of activated NK cells. CD155 serves as a receptor for poliovirus and may play a role in axonal transport of poliovirus, by targeting virion-PVR-containing endocytic vesicles to the microtubular network through interaction with dynein light chain Tctex-type 1 (DYNLT1). It is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-20), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 21-343), a transmembrane domain (aa 344-367), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 368-417). It contains two Ig-like C2 type domains (aa 145-237 and 233-328), and an Ig-like V-type domain that is shown to be necessary and sufficient for virus binding and uptake. CD155 also has one the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitor motif (ITIM; aa 396-401) that when phosphorylated by Src kinases binds to the SH2 domain of several SH2-containing phosphatases. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
