Anti-Respiratory Syncytial Virus (Clone: RSV-3M3)

Reactivity Species : Respiratory Syncytial-Virus Expression Host : HEK-293 Endotoxin Level :≤ 1.0 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method. Specificity : RSV-3M3 activity is directed against antigenic site IV of the RSV fusion (F) protein and binds to pre- and post-fusion F proteins of RSV A strain A2 and RSV B strain 18537. Clone RSV-3M3 is potent at neutralizing RSV A2, RSV Long viruses (subgroup A), RSV 18537 B, and RSV WV/401R viruses (subgroup B) . Competition-binding assay shows that RSV-3M3 targets antigenic site IV. Mutagenesis experiments have revealed RSV-3M3 requires arginine residue R429 for binding and neutralization. EM reconstruction shows that RSV-3M3 binds close to a 0° tilt. RSV-3M3 does not neutralize hMPV.
