[edit] Source Microbe
Vibrio cholerae serogroup O139
[edit] Basic Structure
N/A
[edit] Proposed functions
V. cholerae lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a critical component of the outer membrane that is required for virulence, is a known target for immune responses following infection or immunization. Antibodies specific for V. cholerae LPS are correlated with protection against cholera

[edit] Antibody type and class
IgG2b
[edit] Assay System
dot-blot ELISA, immunoblotting, ELISA
[edit] Cross-reactivity
This Mab was specific to Vibrio cholerae serogroup O139 and did not cross-react with 137 strains of other enteric microorganisms
