Vector Labs Ab05114-23.0 Anti-LCMV surface glycoprotein [M28], Rabbit IgG, kappa (100 μg)
Quick Overview
The original antibody was generated by introducing two mutations (S32R and R55 insertion) into the sequence of the parent clone 18.5C (an isolate from a human survivor of Lassa fever).

| Chimeric Use Statement: | This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Human IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques. |
| Specificity Statement: | This antibody is specific for the LCMV surface glycoprotein. It binds to a pre-fusion epitope of the LCMV GP complex. |
| Application Notes: | The original antibody (human IgG1) was generated and confirmed to specifically recognize the target via ELISA. A Fab version of it was generated and tested for neutralization. This antibody demonstrated potent in vitro neutralization (IC₅₀ ≈ 0.51 μg/mL) and both prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy in a murine chronic LCMV model, with complete viral clearance and protection from weight loss. Furthermore, this antibody enabled high-resolution cryoEM of the LCMV GP trimer in both apo and Fab-bound states, defining a quaternary, pre-fusion-specific epitope (Moon-Walker et al., 2023; PMID: 36990092). In vitro, this antibody fully neutralized cell-free LCMV at 5 µg/mL and was used to demonstrate that ~50% of viral spread occurs via antibody-resistant, direct cell-to-cell nanotube transfer (Byford et al., 2024; PMID: 39578605). |
