Antibodies
B.ab.-6
Antibody type and class
IgM
Assay System
Whole cell agglutination, immunodiffusion, immunoblotting and ELISA
Cross-reactivity
This Mab cross-reacted with LPS and 0-chains of Y. enterocolitica and B. abortus and exhibited high ELISA titers with homologous and heterologous antigens, in addition to agglutinating activity for both bacteria
Proposed epitopes
this Mab was proposed to be directed to antigenic determinants present along the length of the polymeric O-chain
Proposed Utility
This Mab can be used to study the cell wall polysaccharide antigens of other Y. enterocolitica strains and are being evaluated for specific serological identification of B. abortus.
