Analysis Affinity of Anti-Respiratory Syncytial Virus-F Fab by KinExA (CAT#: STEM-MB-0015-CJ)

Name: Analysis Affinity of Anti-Respiratory Syncytial Virus-F Fab by KinExA
SKU: STEM-MB-0015-CJ
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

Introduction

In the human adaptation and optimization of a mouse anti–human respiratory syncytial virus neutralizing antibody, affinity assessment was crucial to distinguish among potential candidates and to evaluate whether this correlated with function in vitro and in vivo. This affinity assessment was complicated by the trimeric nature of the antigen target, respiatory syncytial virus F glycoprotein. In addition, the respiratory syncytial virus fusion (F) glycoprotein is the current leading target for the majority of vaccines and immunotherapies under development.

Principle

KinExA is a two-stage analysis system. In the first stage, a number of solutions are prepared, where one partner remains constant (constant binding partner, or CBP) and the other (titrant) is variable, usually serially diluted. As the titrant is added, the free CBP decreases and is analysed by a sophisticated and precise microfluorescence measurement device. The signal generated can be mathematically related to the affinity (KD) of the two molecules for each other, as well as the kinetic parameters of binding (kon) and dissociation (koff).

Applications

Immunology/Inflammation, Toxicology; Virology

Procedure

1. preparation of the functionalized beads which will capture the analyte for measuremen.
2. preparation of a series of solutions consisting of a constant initial concentration of one component of the binary reaction and serial dilutions of the other reactant. The component that is kept constant is the constant binding partner (CBP) , and is the one which will be analyzed.
3. each reaction mixture is sampled and the fluorescence of free CBP bound to the capture beads is obtained for subsequent numerical analysis.
