Vector Labs Ab03529-23.0 Anti-Integrase [scFvs 104], Rabbit IgG, lambda (100 μg)
Quick Overview
The original antibody was generated by immunizing rabbits from the New Zealand white strain with HIV-1 IN protein developing a combinatorial single-chain variable fragment (scFv) library against IN. The antibody was isolated by panning against immobilized HIV-1 IN protein.

| Chimeric Use Statement: | This full-length reformatted rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Rabbit scFv format for improved compatibility with existing reagents assays and techniques. |
| Specificity Statement: | The antibody is specific for the catalytic and C-terminal domains of IN protein. The antibody does not bind to HIV-1 PR protein. This enzyme catalyses the integration of the HIV genome into the chromosome of the host cell. The HIV-1 IN consists of a 288 amino-acid (aa) protein (32 kDa) encoded at the 3′-end of the HIV pol gene and it contains three distinct domains: N-terminal, catalytic core, and the C-terminal. |
| Application Notes: | The specificity of the original format of the antibody was confirmed by ELISA analysis. The antibody detected the HIV-1 IN protein by western blot analysis. The scFv fragment inhibited the activity of HIV-1 IN in vitro. HIV-1 replication was inhibited by the scFv localized in cytoplasm and nucleus of HeLa cells. Further, the scFv fragment specifically inhibited HIV-1 DNA integration in Hela-P4 cells. Jurkat cell lines stably expressing scFv intrabody were employed to determine whether the intracellular expression of the scFv fragment was able to prevent HIV-1 replication. Jurkat–scFv fragment cell lines showed approximately 60%–80% inhibition of HIV-1 p24 antigen production compared with the parental Jurkat cells (da Silva et al., 2012; PMID: 23586912). |
