Product Details

Purpose: Anti-Bundibugyo Ebolavirus, GP (Clone BDBV-335)-Purified No Carrier Protein

Specificity: BDBV-335 activity is directed against the glycan cap of Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BDBV) glycoprotein (GP) between residues 274 and 282. BDBV-335 binds equally well to both native GP and a recombinant GP secreted to the extracellular space during infection (sGP). Antigen Distribution BDBV-335 activity is directed against the glycan cap of Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BDBV) glycoprotein (GP) between residues 274 and 282. BDBV-335 binds equally well to both native GP and a recombinant GP secreted to the extracellular space during infection (sGP). Background Ebola virus is a member of the Filoviridae family that causes severe disease in humans with a mortality rate of 25-90 % 1. Three Ebola species are responsible for lethal outbreaks Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV), Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BDBV), and Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV). The Ebola virus envelope contains a single surface glycoprotein (GP) which is responsible for viral attachment to the host cell, endosomal entry, and membrane fusion1. GP is composed of two subunits, GP1 and GP2. GP1 has a heavily glycosylated mucin-like domain and a glycan cap. GP2 contains the internal fusion loop, transmembrane domain, and stalk. GP is the major target of neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb) and vaccine design against Ebola virus 1,2,3 1,2,3. BDBV-335 is a glycan cap mAb isolated from B cells of a survivor of the 2007 Uganda BDBV outbreak3. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the survivor were transformed with Epstein-Barr virus, CpG, and additional supplements. Subsequently, cell supernatants were screened by ELISA for binding to GPs from BDBV, EBOV, or MARV filoviruses. Positive cells were fused with HMMA2.5 myeloma cells by electrofusion and cloned by single-cell fluorescence-activated cell sorting. According to EM structural analysis, BDBV-335 binds further down the glycan cap than BDBV-41, a mAb in the same binding group3. BDBV-335 targets a region in GP1 that is centered on the glycan cap between residues 274 and 282.

Purification: Recombinant antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using only in vitro protein free cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates.
