Key features and details  | |
Cat. No.  | MABL-2072  | 
Name  | Anti-IL-34 mAbs  | 
Clone No.  | AFD- FAb1.1  | 
From  | Recombinant Antibody  | 
Isotype  | Engineer antibody  | 
Application  | Blocking, crystallization, neutralizing  | 
Species Reactivity  | Human, Mouse  | 
Basic Information  | |
Specificity  | The antibody is specific for human and murine IL-34. The antibody recognizes a largely continuous area at the junction of two IL-34 protomers. The epitope overlaps largely with binding epitopes responsible for CSF-1R binding.  | 
Alternative Name  | Interleukin-34; YW404.33.56  | 
UniProt  | Q6ZMJ4  | 
Immunogen  | The original antibody was generated by panning a Fab library against IL-34.  | 
Application Notes  | The crystal structure of the Fab fragment of the antibody in complex with human IL-34 was determined. The original antibody was reformatted as an IgG molecules and the binding affinity of both formats measured by BLI experiments (Kd= 17 nM and 120 pM respectively). The antibody blocked the biological activity of IL-34 in human monocyte viability. The antibody neutralized IL-34 in a proliferation assays (Ma et al., 2012; PMID: 22483114).  |
