name:
The natural human IgG anti-F(ab')2 antibody recognizes a conformational IgG1 hinge epitope.
description:
Increasing amounts of the epitope lead to a gradual inhibition of anti-F(ab')2 activity. This inhibition was observed to be strongest against a synthetic double chain molecule, in which each chain represented the epitope hinged at Cys2 and Cys5, creating a cyclic region between the two cysteine bridges, plus an exocyclic region. The monomeric form of the epitope inhibited binding poorly. This suggest that the IgG anti-F(ab')2 antibodies recognize a conformational IgG1 hinge epitope.
