Basic Information | |
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 Name | 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). |
