[edit] Antibody type and class
IgM
[edit] Assay System
Western blotting and immunoprecipitation techniques, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and competitive ELISA
[edit] Cross-reactivity
Monoclonal antibody LOSM1 showed a quite identical reactivity with WEA from S. mutans serotypes f and b, reduced activity against WEA from serotypes c, e, and a, and weak binding to serotypes d and g

[edit] Proposed Utility
Using this monoclonal antibody, it has been demonstrated that cross-reactivity and conservation of the specific epitopes among the various S. mutans serotypes. These Mab should be useful in studying the streptococcal surface moities
