Note
Hsa.IK17 is a human single chain monoclonal antibody against IK17. The antibody genes in IK17 are derived from several genes. The IK17 VH region is derived from the V3-23 gene rearranged to the DH, 6-06/DN4, and JH4b minigenes. The IK17 VH region is paired with the VK3 gene, Vg/L6, rearranged to JK2 (Shaw et al., Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2001;21:1333-1339).

(hsp70:IK17-eGFP) expresses a functional single-chain antibody (scFv) of human IK17, tagged with GFP, under the control of the zebrafish hsp70 promoter. Secreted IK17-eGFP binds to malondialdehyde epitopes on lipid deposits (OxLDL and malondialdehyde-LDL) in the vascular wall. Activation of IK17-eGFP expression by heat shock results in the presence of GFP in oxidized plaques. (O'Hare et al., 2014 )
