Chimeric Use Statement:This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgM format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Specificity Statement:This antibody is highly specific for lycopene and does not recognize other carotenoids such as lutein. Lycopene is a naturally occurring red pigment, which belongs to the family of carotenoids. It is found in tomatoes, watermelon and papaya. Lycopene is one of the most powerful antioxidants, belonging to the tetraterpene group, whose anti-radical activity exceeds the antioxidant potential of tocopherol, beta-carotene and ascorbic acid. The highly unsaturated chemical structure of lycopene predetermines its ability to react with many substances containing or generating singlet molecular oxygen such as peroxyl radicals, hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorite.
Application Notes:The binding reactivity of the original antibody towards lycopene was determined using ELISA. This antibody was also able to recognize lycopene inclusions in the settings of indirect immunofluorescence experiments. This antibody can also be used for the visualization of lycopene distribution within cultured human hepatocytes and alveolar macrophages which were pre-incubated with this carotenoid for 48 hours (WO2018115885).
