Recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies are produced using in vitro expression systems. The expression systems are developed by cloning in the specific antibody DNA sequences from immunoreactive rabbits. Then, individual clones are screened to select the best candidates for production. The advantages of using recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies include: better specificity and sensitivity, lot-to-lot consistency, animal origin-free formulations, and broader immunoreactivity to diverse targets due to larger rabbit immune repertoire.
This antibody has specificity for Human IGFBP3/IGFBP-3.
IGFBP3 is a gene that belongs to the insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) family. The gene encodes a protein that contains both an IGFBP domain and a thyroglobulin type-I domain. This protein is known to form a ternary complex with insulin-like growth factor acid-labile subunit (IGFALS) and either insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I or II. The complex circulates in the plasma and prolongs the half-life of IGFs while also altering their interaction with cell surface receptors. Various isoforms of the gene have been identified through alternate transcriptional splice variants. Diseases associated with IGFBP3 include Insulin-Like Growth Factor I and Acid-Labile Subunit Deficiency.
