[edit] Assay System
immunoelectron microscopy
[edit] Cross-reactivity
This Mab cross-reacts with the peribacteroid membrane from Pisum sativum, plant plasma membranes and the Golgi bodies, but not the endoplasmic reticulum. This Mab also reacted with peribacteroid membranes from nodules of Vicia and lupin, and with plasma membranes and Golgi membranes from uninfected plant cells, including root tip cells from onion (Allium cepa), indicating that the antigen is highly conserved in the plasma membranes of plant cells

[edit] Proposed Utility
This Mab should prove useful in characterising the maturation and exchange of material between the Golgi apparatus and the plasma membrane of plant cells in general, quite apart from any specific applications as an immunochemical marker for the peribacteroid membrane in further studies on the Rhizobium-legume interaction
