Product Background

Vitamin D3 receptor (VDR, NR1I1) is a ligand-activated nuclear receptor that mediates vitamin D signaling and regulates calcium homeostasis, immune responses, metabolism, differentiation, and transcriptional regulation. VDR is widely studied in bone biology, endocrinology, immunology, cancer biology, inflammation, kidney biology, and metabolic disease research.

Antibody Development

XM0018 was generated by phage-display selection using a mouse-derived antibody library. Recombinant epitope-Fc fusion protein containing the VDR epitope sequence was used as the selection antigen. Following identification of the initial antibody candidate, structure-guided affinity optimization was performed to improve binding affinity and specificity.

The optimized antibody was reconstructed as a full-length mouse IgG1 recombinant antibody and expressed in HEK293 cells.

Binding and specificity were evaluated by:

• ELISA using recombinant epitope-Fc fusion antigen
• Western blot using recombinant MBP-epitope fusion protein
• Western blot detection of endogenous VDR protein in mouse tissues and human cells

Validation Data

ELISA Validation

ELISA demonstrated specific binding to recombinant epitope-Fc fusion antigen, while minimal binding was observed against Fc control protein.

Validation conditions:

• Well 1: Fc control protein
• Well 2: Epitope-Fc fusion protein
• Detection substrate: TMB

Note: ELISA validation confirms binding to the epitope-Fc fusion antigen. Full-length VDR protein binding in solution has not been tested by ELISA.

Western Blot Validation – Recombinant Fusion Protein

Western blot analysis demonstrated specific recognition of recombinant MBP-epitope fusion protein expressed in BL21(DE3) cells, while no significant binding was observed against MBP control protein.

Validation conditions:

• Lane 1: MBP control protein
• Lane 2: MBP-epitope fusion protein
• Standard reducing Western blot

Western Blot Validation – Endogenous Full-Length Protein

Western blot analysis detected endogenous VDR protein in human 293T cells and mouse intestine and kidney tissues under reducing conditions.

Validated samples:

• 293T cells
• Mouse intestine tissue
• Mouse kidney tissue

Detection condition:

• Standard reducing Western blot
• HRP-conjugated anti-mouse secondary antibody
