Product Description
The YTS 169.4-CP081 monoclonal antibody is a recombinant, chimeric version of the original antibody. The variable domain sequences are identical but the constant region sequences have been switched from rat IgG2b, kappa to mouse IgG2a, kappa for use in murine models. Species-matched chimeric antibodies demonstrate reduced immunogenicity and formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) compared to xenogenic antibodies in animal models. The highly controlled sequence and lack of genetic drift in recombinant antibodies provide more reliable and reproducible results over hybridoma derived antibodies. Additionally, YTS 169.4-CP081 contains LALA-PG mutations in the heavy chain Fc fragment rendering it unable to bind endogenous murine Fcγ receptors or C1q to induce antibody-dependent, cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) or complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). The LALA-PG variant has demonstrated significantly reduced effector function, C1q binding and C3 fixation compared to other common silencing mutations such as the LALA and DANG variants while retaining favorable biophysical and manufacturing properties.
YTS 169.4-CP081 reacts with mouse CD8α. The CD8 antigen is a transmembrane glycoprotein that acts as a co-receptor for the T cell receptor (TCR). Like the TCR, CD8 binds to class I MHC molecules displayed by antigen presenting cells (APC). CD8 is primarily expressed on the surface of cytotoxic T cells, but can also be found on thymocytes, natural killer cells, and some dendritic cell subsets. CD8 most commonly exists as a heterodimer composed of one CD8α and one CD8β chain however, it can also exist as a homodimer composed of two CD8α chains. Both the CD8α and CD8β chains share significant homology to immunoglobulin variable light chains.
