mAb 4A8
A human monoclonal antibody against SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein.
General information
mAb 4A8 is a human monoclonal antibody against SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein identified among the antibodies produced in convalescent patients' B cells. It neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 (live or pseudotyped virus) despite not interfering with Spike-ACE2 interaction (Chi et al., 2020). mAB 4A8 targets a SARS-CoV-2 Spike N-terminal domain glycan-free site (Cerutti et al., 2021).

A neutralizing human antibody binds to the N-terminal domain of the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2
Spike protein In vitro Antibody |
in vitro binding assay; Vero E6 cells; ACE2-293T cells; hACE2-(HEK)293T cells (S-ACE2 interaction assay) | 41.85 | Potently neutralized live SARS-CoV-2 and S-protein pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2 in vitro (EC50 of 0.61 μg/ml and 49 μg/ml, respectively). The antibody bound S1 domain of Spike protein with Kd of 92.7 nM. Despite its potent neutralizing activity, it did not inhibit the interaction between Spike protein and host's ACE2 receptor. |
