Miscellaneous

Source Microbe

Escherichia coli C600

Basic Structure

N/A

Proposed functions

N/A

Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

whole formalinized E. coli C600 cells

nil

Antibodies

Mab 865

Antibody type and class

IgM

Assay System

ELISA and immunoblotting

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

Proposed epitopes

Epitope was proposed to contain 4-linked α-N-acetylglucosamine

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)
