[edit] Proposed functions

N/A

[edit] Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

Killed whole cells

[edit] Carrier Name

nil

[edit] Conjugation Method

nil

[edit] Antibodies

B.ab.-4

[edit] Antibody type and class

IgG3

[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.
