NIDDK Scientists Detect New Epitope on HIV-1 Protein gp41 Using AbD Serotec-Generated Recombinant Mini-Antibody

AbD Serotec, a division of MorphoSys AG, today announced the publication of a scientific research paper from one of its customers. Scientists working in the team of Drs. Clore and Bewley at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) – part of the U.S. National Institute of Health (NIH) – have detected a new epitope on the HIV-Protein gp41 using antibodies generated by AbD Serotec from the MorphoSys HuCAL GOLD antibody library and demonstrated the antibody’s capability to neutralize diverse laboratory-adapted B-strains of HIV-1 and primary isolates of subtypes A, B and C. Their results have been published in the Journal of Virology.
