| Chimeric Use Statement: | This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Dromedary VHH format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques. |
| Specificity Statement: | The antibody is specific for PCT. PCT is a protein consisting of 116 amino acids. PCT is the peptide precursor of calcitonin, a hormone that is synthesized by the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid and involved in calcium homeostasis. |
| Application Notes: | The specificity of the original format of the antibody was confirmed by ELISA analysis (CN104404630A). The binding affinity of the VHH fragment to PCT was measured by surface plasmon resonance (Kd= 1.3 nM). The original format of the antibody was successfully used as a capture antibody, together with anti-PCT Nb3, for the development of a sandwich ELISA for the detection of PCT (Yan et al., 2015; PMID: 25944262). |
