Fig. 1. (A) The avian derived IgY molecule consists of four linked polypeptide chains; two heavy domains (containing one variable heavy region (VH); and four constant heavy regions (CH1; CH2; CH3 and CH4)) and two light domains (containing one variable light (VL) and one constant light (CL) region); linked by two disulphide bonds (shown in red) (Murphy et al.; 2016). The antigen-binding region is composed of a variable light (VL) and variable heavy (VH) domain. The antibody is segregated into a Fragment antigen binding (Fab) and Fragment crystallizable (Fc) region. (B) Single chain fragment variable (scFv) displays structurally important complementarity determining regions (CDR); and consists of VH and VL domains linked by a serine-glycine linker. (C) The single chain antibody (scAb) fragment is composed of a human kappa light chain constant domain (CL) connected to a scFv.

Name: Anti-cyanotoxin (MC-LR) scAb
Alternate name: MC-LR, Anti-Microcystin-LR (R66S) scAb
Research fields: Biochemistry
Tool sub type: Primary antibody
Class: Recombinant
Conjugation: Unconjugated
Host: Mouse
Application: ELISA ; WB
Description: Microcystins are cyclic heptapeptides implicated in the impairment of liver function in various animals. They have two variable amino acid residues; in the case of the cyanotoxin MC-LR the variable amino acids are Leucine (L) and Arginine (R). Microcystin-LR is the most commonly found cyanotoxin and inhibits protein phosphatase type 1 and type 2A (PP1 and PP2A) activities in the cytoplasm of liver cells, leading to hepatocytic necrosis and haemorrhaging. Chronic exposure to microcystin is a worrying phenomenon as microcystin over an extended period of time can cause cancer through the inhibition of protein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A.
