Anti-H3L Antibody (NAL_A185)
Anti-H3L Antibody (NAL_A185) is a neutralizing antibody targeting the H3L envelope protein of vaccinia virus (CV) belonging to the genus Orthopoxvirus. By binding to the H3L protein of intracellular mature virions, Anti-H3L Antibody (NAL_A185) blocks the binding of the virus to host cells, thereby neutralizing viral infectivity. Anti-H3L Antibody (NAL_A185) not only protects BALB/c mice from intranasal challenge with the lethal vaccinia virus WR strain, reducing weight loss and mortality, but also exhibits complement-dependent neutralizing activity against monkeypox virus. Among these properties, NAL_A185 is an immune target induced by the smallpox vaccine Dryvax; it elicits a robust recall antibody response and induces high-titer neutralizing antibodies in mice. Anti-H3L Antibody (NAL_A185) can be used for studies related to vaccinia virus infection, monkeypox and monkeypox disease.
