This antibody recognizes a surface confirmation epitope on the intact HPV-16 L1 virus like particles. This antibody is known to recognize the FG and HI loops, which are immunodominant in the humoral response against the HPV16 major capsid protein.

The specificity of this antibody against intact and disrupted virus-like particles (VLPs) of HPV-6, HPV-16, HPV-11, and HPV-18 was determined using ELISA (PMID: 8874508). This antibody was used as a capture antibody to test human serum IgG reactive with HPV-16 capsids (PMID: 8896492). This antibody was also reported to block HPV-16 VLP-induced agglutination of mouse RBC (PMID: 8806551). This antibody is capable of neutralizing by inhibiting HPV-16 binding to cell surfaces (PMID: 9223527). This antibody was also used to characterize a major neutralizing epitope on the HPV-16 type virus (PMID: 10233949). Sequences at both ends of the long FG loop (amino acids 260 to 290) were required for H16.V5 reactivity (PMID: 14557648). H16.V5 is often used for the assessment of the integrity and antigenicity of VLPs in vaccine products (PMID: 17012876). This antibody, when conjugated with magnetic beads, can also be used to immunoprecipitate HPV16 VLP and PsV out of cell lysates (PMID: 22927980). The binding to the surfaces of CaSki cells was detected by indirect immunofluorescence staining with H16.V5 and flow cytometry. The ability of gradient-purified HPV16 L1 to bind to the surface of SiHa cells at 4°C was detected by flow cytometric staining with the H16.V5 monoclonal antibody (PMID: 15890912).
