This invention relates to antibodies for detecting monkeypox
virus and their applications, belonging to the field of
biotechnology. This invention screened three antibodies, including
antibody 18F7,
antibody 27C3, and
antibody 27F1; all antibodies contain a
heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region. The
heavy chain variable region of antibody 18F7 contains
amino acid sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1-3, and the light chain variable region contains
amino acid sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO. 4-6; the
heavy chain variable region of antibody 27C3 contains
amino acid sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO. 7-8 and VH-CDR3:WDY, and the light chain variable region contains amino acid sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO. 9-11; the heavy chain variable region of antibody 27F1 contains amino acid sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO. 12-14, and the light chain variable region contains amino acid sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO. 15-17.
Antibody 18F7 can bind not only to the A29L
protein but also to its homologs A28L, 192, and A30L. Antibodies 27C3 and 27F1 specifically recognize the A29L
protein. All three antibodies exhibit high binding affinity to the A29L
protein, making them suitable for sensitive and
specific detection of monkeypox
virus A29L protein and applicable for the
clinical diagnosis of monkeypox
virus infection-related diseases.
