[edit] Antibodies
Mab 4E9
[edit] Antibody type and class
IgM
[edit] Assay System
Immunofluorescence, immunoblotting
[edit] Cross-reactivity
This Mab did not react other protozoa (Giardia lamblia, E. Histolytica, Toxoplasma gondii, Trypanosoma cruzi, and L. major) and was specific for Cryptosporidium
[edit] Proposed epitopes
The epitope recognized by 4E9 contains α-N-acetylgalactosamine residues, which are present in a mucin-type O-glycosidic linkage
[edit] Proposed Utility
This MAb neutralized C. parvum infection and inhibited sporozoite attachment to intestinal epithelial cells in vitro
