[edit] Antibody type and class
IgM
[edit] Assay System
Whole cell agglutination, immunodiffusion, immunoblotting and ELISA
[edit] Cross-reactivity
This Mab cross-reacted with LPS and 0-chains of Y. enterocolitica and B. abortus and exhibited high ELISA titers with homologous and heterologous antigens, in addition to agglutinating activity for both bacteria
[edit] Proposed epitopes
this Mab was proposed to be directed to antigenic determinants present along the length of the polymeric O-chain
[edit] Proposed Utility
This Mab can be used to study the cell wall polysaccharide antigens of other Y. enterocolitica strains and are being evaluated for specific serological identification of B. abortus.
