IgG1 ab1
An anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein monoclonal antibody.
General information
IgG1 ab1 is a fully human monoclonal germline-like antibody against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein RBD identified using phage display technique (as a Fab - converted into full IgG1) (Li et al., 2020).

293T cells expressing the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein; Vero E6 cells; BALB/c mice; hACE2 BALB/c mice; hACE2 C3B6 mice; hamsters; SARS-CoV-2 S pseudotyped HIV-1 virus; mouse ACE2-adapted SARS-CoV-2; wild-type SARS-CoV-2 | 9.41 | The antibody binds to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein RBD with high affinity (Kd=0.16 nM) (higher than hACE2). It neutralized live SARS-CoV-2 in vitro and induced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in tissue culture. Upon administration the antibody was shown to act prophylactically (total neutralization at high dose) in mouse models and both prophylactically and therapeutically in hamsters (decreased viral titers, protection of lung tissue). |

in vitro biophysical assay; cryo-EM | 7.08 | The antibody bound both wild type and N501Y Spike ectodomain variants. The affinity for the mutant version was slightly decreased, as was the antibody’s capacity to prevent ACE2 binding. The Fab version of the antibody was shown to bind RBD in the “up” position only. |
