Chimeric Use Statement:This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Specificity Statement:Specific to the principal neutralizing determinant (PND) of the V3 region of gp120 of HIV-1. It is reactive against peptides longer than 11 mer containing the sequence IHIGPGRAFYT (Okamoto et al, 1998).
Application Notes:Has been tested against the primary field isolates of Japanese hemophiliacs seropositive for HIV-1 and protect SCID-hu mice from infection from these isolates. u5.5 was used as a humanized antibody and found to have a high neutralization activity. As of such it has been proposed as a protective antibody, however its epitope specificity gives it a limited range (Okamoto et al, 1998). It has been used in Western Blots to detect the V3 epitope of HIV-1 (Honda et al, 1995).
