From
Recombinant Antibody
Specificity
This antibody recognizes lethal factor (LF) of anthrax toxin. LF is the lethal factor that, when associated with PA, causes death. LF is not toxic by itself. It is a protease that cleaves the N-terminal of most dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MAPKKs or MAP2Ks) (except for MAP2K5).
Alternative Names
lethal factor; LF; Anthrax lethal toxin endopeptidase component; anthrax toxin
UniProt
P15917
Immunogen
The original scFv version of this antibody was isolated from a phage display library generated from immunized chimpanzees.
Application Notes
The original scFv version of this antibody was confirmed to strongly bind anthrax lethal factor (LF) via ELISA (Chen et al., 2006; pmid: 16453257).
