Target

  • RelevanceThe HIV1 core consists of a viral genome housed within a conical viral capsid that is generated during virion maturation. Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV1) matures after the viral protease processes the Gag and Pol polyproteins at 10 substrate locations. The protease of HIV1 is an aspartic protease and is functional only as a dimer; dimerization results in the formation of a binding cleft in which each of the two catalytic aspartic acids in which each monomer contributes each of the 2 catalytic aspartic acids. Because the protease is active only as a dimer, two of the GagPol precursors must themselves dimerize during virus assembly so that their protease domains can dimerize, become active, and process the precursors. Both the order and kinetics of cleavage as well as the extent of precursor processing appear to be critical steps in the generation of fully infectious, appropriately assembled viral particles. Inhibition of HIV-1 protease represents an important avenue for antiviral therapy. Currently available combination chemotherapy with reverse transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs) and protease inhibitors (PIs) for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV1) infection and AIDS have been shown to suppress the replication of HIV1 and extend the life expectancy of HIV1 infected individuals.

can this antibody be provided as Fab fragment only (instead of entire IgG molecule)?
for crystallography study
if possible: bulk order OK, how much?

Thank you for contacting us.

I have good news:

The supplying lab let me know the following:

We are able to produce Fab fragments from HIV protease antibody [clone1696].
The minimun amount of the HIV protease must be 5 m...

Before ordering your anti-HIV protease Ab, I would like to know at which concentration I could use it as primary Ab in western blotting (I need to recognize the protease of HIV-2).

I would suggest that you should carry out a preliminary experiment with different dilutions of this antibody (i.e.1:500-1:2000) and then adjust the dilution accordingly from the results obtained.

Dear Sir, Your anti-HIV1 protease Ab recognizes N-terminal of the protease. N-terminal amino acid sequences of my mutant HIV-1 proteases have AQVTLWQPR~ or AQITLWQRP~ instead of PQITLWQRP~ (P1A or/and I3V point mutants). Could you let me know if your ...

This antibody has not been tested against the mutant forms of HIV protease so we do not know whether or not it would react with them.
