Mab 865
[edit] Antibody type and class
IgM
[edit] Assay System
ELISA and immunoblotting
[edit] Cross-reactivity
This antibody cross-reacted with purified ECA from S.montevideo and to E. coli Rl and R4 LPS, cross-reacted well with the K5 capsular polysaccharide
[edit] Proposed epitopes
Epitope was proposed to contain 4-linked α-N-acetylglucosamine
[edit] Proposed Utility
This Mab may be used for the detection of ECA and K5 core structures but also for analysis of the molecular forms resolved on polyacrylamide gels (banding patterns)
