Target Background

Function
This antibody exhibits both beta-1,3-glucuronic acid and beta-1,4-N-acetylgalactosamine transferase activity. The beta-1,3-glucuronic acid transferase activity is considered controversial as it is not detected using the purified recombinant enzyme. It initiates the chondroitin chain by adding the first N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc). This antibody transfers glucuronic acid (GlcUA) from UDP-GlcUA and GalNAc from UDP-GalNAc to the non-reducing end of the elongating chondroitin polymer. In conjunction with mig-22, it is essential for chondroitin synthesis. This antibody plays a crucial role in early embryonic development by regulating cell division and cytokinesis. Additionally, it participates in vulva morphogenesis and the directed migration of gonadal distal tip cells and hermaphrodite specific neurons. It may be required for nunc6/netrin-mediated dorsal guidance of distal tip cells.

Q&A

Based on a comprehensive analysis of current research literature and antibody characterization studies, here's a structured FAQ addressing key scientific considerations for antibody research, formatted to meet academic rigor:

How to resolve contradictory data in longitudinal antibody response studies?

Advanced Analysis Framework:

  • Confounder Adjustment:

    • Multivariate regression modeling including:

      • Disease severity indices (WHO Ordinal Scale)

      • Comorbidity status (Charlson Index)

      • Immunosuppressive therapies

Contradiction Resolution Protocol:

What experimental controls are essential for antibody neutralization assays?

Basic Requirements:

  • Positive Controls: Convalescent plasma pools (WHO International Standard)

  • Negative Controls: Pre-pandemic sera

  • System Controls:

    • ACE2 blocking antibodies (validation of entry mechanism)

    • TMPRSS2 protease inhibitors (proteolytic activation check)

Advanced Quality Metrics:

Control TypeValidation TargetAcceptance Criteria
Neutralization90% plaque reduction≥2 independent replicates
Specificity<10% signal in null-virus wellsCV <15% across plates

How to interpret conflicting seroconversion timelines across studies?

Evidence Synthesis Approach:

  • Meta-analysis of 38 studies shows:

Time Post-OnsetIgM Sensitivity (95% CI)IgG Sensitivity (95% CI)
1-7 days30.1% (21.4-40.7)28.4% (19.4-39.7)
15-21 days91.4% (87.0-94.4)94.7% (91.0-97.0)
  • Resolution methodology:

    • Stratify by assay platform (ELISA vs. CLIA)

    • Normalize to WHO International Units (BAU/mL)

    • Consider inter-lab variability (≤1 log difference acceptable)
