CloneID: S48-18
Antigen Long Description: This antibody was generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with αKdo(2→4)αKdo(2→4)αKdo-BSA.
Buffer Composition: PBS only.
Chimeric Use Statement: This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Specificity Statement: This antibody is specific for 2.4[2.8]2.4-linked Kdo tetrasaccharide. Which is a partial structure of chlamydial lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
Application Notes (Clone): An ELISA was performed on neoglycoconjugates using the mouse version of this antibody, it showed the strongest binding to αKdo(2→4)αKdo(2→4)αKdo and αKdo(2→4)αKdo(2→4)αKdo(2→6)βGlcNAc. ELISA was also performed on LPS antigens and bacterial antigens using the mouse version of this antibody, it bound most strongly to Chl. psittaci EB and Chl. psittaci LPS (Brade et al, 2000; pmid:11521056). The scFv version of this antibody was used for an ELISA on neoglycoconugates, the antibody bound to 2.4/2.4PS4P and HS4P quite well but bound less well to 2.8/2.4PS4P (Gerstenbruch et al, 2010; pmid:20022906).
