This IgE (Omalizumab Biosimilar) antibody is un-conjugated
Application
Flow Cytometry (FACS), In vivo Studies (in vivo)
Purpose
Omalizumab Biosimilar, Human IgE Monoclonal Antibody
Specificity
The monoclonal antibody Omalizumab specifically binds to the human immunoglobulin E (IgE) free in the blood and interstitial fluid and to membrane-bound form of IgE (mIgE) on the surface of mIgE-expressing B lymphocytes. Unlike an ordinary anti-IgE antibody, omalizumab does not bind to IgE that is already bound by the high affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) on the surface of mast cells, basophils, and antigen-presenting dendritic cells.
Characteristics
Recombinant Humanized IgG1 Monoclonal Antibody.
Purification
Protein A affinity column
Purity
> 95% by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and HPLC.
Sterility
0.2 μm filtered
Endotoxin Level
< 1 EU per 1 mg of the protein by the LAL method.
Immunogen
The monoclonal antibody Omalizumab was produced in the Omalizumab biosimilar CHO stable cell line.
IgE antibody, immunoglobulin heavy constant epsilon antibody, IGHE antibody
Target Type
Biosimilar
Background
Omalizumab is a humanized antibody used to reduce sensitivity to inhaled or ingested allergens, especially in the control of moderate to severe allergic asthma which does not respond to high doses of corticosteroids.
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) found in mammals only exists as monomers consisting of two heavy chains (ε chain) and two light chains, with the ε chain containing 4 Ig-like constant domains (Cε1-Cε4). In addition to immunity to parasites, IgE plays an essential role in type I hypersensitivity, which manifests various allergic diseases, and allergic conditions, such as anaphylactic reactions to certain drugs, bee stings, and antigen preparations used in specific desensitization immunotherapy.
