Monkeypox Hot Antibody Targets

Monkeypox virus (MPXV), a re-emerging member of the Orthopoxvirus genus, has become a significant public health concern due to its increasing global spread and zoonotic potential. As researchers continue to explore effective countermeasures, antibody-based approaches have shown tremendous promise for both therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

At Creative Biolabs, we offer comprehensive antibody development services targeting a curated list of monkeypox viral antigens that are highly conserved, surface-accessible, and functionally essential. These antigens represent the most immunologically relevant hot antibody targets currently available for monkeypox research and product development.

Why Focus on Hot Antibody Targets?

The development of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against viral targets requires careful selection of antigens that are:

  • Exposed on the viral surface for immune recognition
  • Conserved across monkeypox strains to ensure broad coverage
  • Involved in key viral processes like entry, replication, or immune evasion
  • Validated through published studies or functional assays

Focusing on these high-value targets allows for the generation of antibodies with strong binding affinities, potent neutralizing capabilities, and versatile applications in in vitro and in vivo systems.

Featured Monkeypox Antigen Targets

Target Protein Function Therapeutic/Research Relevance
A29L Viral membrane protein involved in morphogenesis Structural target, useful for virion assembly studies
H3L Envelope protein facilitating viral entry Induces strong neutralizing antibody responses
A33R Extracellular envelope glycoprotein Key for intercellular virus spread; immune intervention target
D8L Surface glycoprotein binding host glycosaminoglycans Validated in protective antibody studies
A17L Core membrane protein for viral assembly Involved in viral replication and particle integrity
B8R Secreted immune evasion protein (IFN binding) Immunomodulatory target to restore innate defense
E9L DNA polymerase subunit Intracellular target for antibody-drug conjugates
F13L Phospholipase essential for extracellular virion formation Targeted by licensed antivirals; key for viral egress
K1L Host range factor Supports viral replication in non-native species
B5R Major extracellular virion membrane protein Vaccine and diagnostic antibody development target
VGF Viral growth factor homolog Promotes cell proliferation; facilitates viral spread

Our selected antigen targets encompass early-, intermediate-, and late-stage monkeypox viral proteins, including both structural components and immune-modulating factors involved in viral replication and host-pathogen interactions. This comprehensive coverage across the viral life cycle enables the development of antibodies capable of neutralizing the virus at multiple stages of infection. The table below summarizes the key features of each high-priority target included in our antibody development portfolio:

These proteins represent the most immunogenic and functionally critical components of MPXV, offering valuable entry points for both neutralizing and non-neutralizing antibody development.

FAQs

What criteria are used to select monkeypox viral targets for antibody development?

We select targets based on surface accessibility, functional importance, immunogenicity, and sequence conservation across monkeypox strains to ensure broad reactivity and therapeutic relevance.

What expression systems are used for monkeypox antigen production?

We utilize bacterial, mammalian, and insect cell systems depending on the complexity and post-translational requirements of each protein to ensure proper folding and antigenicity.

Are neutralizing antibodies more effective against early- or late-stage MPXV proteins?

Neutralizing antibodies typically target early-stage or surface-expressed proteins to block viral entry, but late-stage targets can be useful in viral spread or immune modulation contexts.
