Source Microbe

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 4 (reference strain M62)

Basic Structure

N/A

Proposed functions

N/A

Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

formalin-fixed A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 4 cells

Carrier Name

nil

Conjugation Method

nil

Antibodies

Mab 6D11

Antibody type and class

IgM

Assay System

Whole cell ELISA and slide agglutination tests

Cross-reactivity

This Mab failed to recognize surface epitopes located on other bacterial, such as H. parasuis, P. haemolytica, P. multocida capsular types A and D, Haemophilus taxon minor group, and A. suis, K. pneumoniae and B. bronchiseptica. This Mab showed a high degree of reactivity with serotypes 4 and 7 and also detected some isolates belonging to serotypes 1, 2, 3, 6, and 8, as well as some nontypeable isolates

Proposed epitopes

N/A

Proposed Utility

This MAb could be useful for the serological diagnostic of animals infected with serotypes 4 and 7 by inhibition ELISA or competition ELISA. Moreover, they could be useful as complementary reagents to polyclonal sera for serotyping of field isolates belonging to A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 4 or 7
