Recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies are produced using in vitro expression systems. The expression systems are developed by cloning in the specific antibody DNA sequences from immunoreactive rabbits. Then, individual clones are screened to select the best candidates for production. The advantages of using recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies include: better specificity and sensitivity, lot-to-lot consistency, animal origin-free formulations, and broader immunoreactivity to diverse targets due to larger rabbit immune repertoire.
This antibody has specificity for Zika virus (ZIKV) (strain Zika SPH2015) ZIKV-E/Envelope protein (Domain III).
As a member of the Flaviviridae family, ZIKV has a single positive sense RNA genome, which is initially translated as a single polyprotein which is then cleaved post-transitionally into three structural proteins (C, PrM or M, and E) and seven nonstructural (NS) proteins (NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B and NS5)(1). The glycosated NS1 forms a homodimer inside the cells and is necessary for viral replication and late in infection (2). NS1 is also secreted into the extracellular space as a hexameric lipoprotein particle, which assists the virus in immune evasion and pathogenesis by interacting with components from both innate and adaptive immune systems as well as other host factors (1).
