Figure Lengend Snippet: Reactivity of anti-ZIKV MAbs. (A) Reactivity of anti-ZIKV MAbs with ZIKV and DENV virus-like particles (VLP) using Luminex assay. ZIKV- and DENV-VLP were conjugated to MagPlex beads (Luminex) and 10,000 beads/mL of these beads mixed with 10 μg/mL to 0.0002 ng/mL anti-ZIKV MAb 102-1, 242-3, 270-12, 289-3, 306-2, 11-3, 278-11, 78-2, and 4G2 for 90 min at room temperature. (B) Western blot analysis of anti-ZIKV MAbs. ZIKV-VLP were heat denatured under nonreduced conditions at 70°C for 5 min. Samples (left, 27 ng; right, 240 ng) were electrophoresed by Wes capillary and detected by 10 μg/mL anti-ZIKV MAb clones. Left, MAb 102-1, 242-3, 270-12, 289-3, 306-2, 78-2 and 11-3. Right, 278-11. M, molecular weight marker. The estimated molecular mass of ZIKV E protein, 55 kDa; prM protein, 23 kDa.
Article Snippet: A volume of 0.1 to 1.0 μg/mL ZIKV-VLP or 0.2 to 2 μg/mL ZIKV E protein in 1× kinetic buffer (Sartorius, Fremont, CA, USA) was associated with anti-ZIKV MAb for 900 s and dissociated for 1,200 s. Kinetic parameters, association constant ( k a ), and dissociation constant ( k dis ) were analyzed by Octet Data Analysis Software HT (ver.
