Application

crystallization, EIA, PIH, ELISA

Species Reactivity

Gram-negative bacteria

Basic Information

Specificity

The antibody recognizes the carbohydrate   backbone of lipid A. The antibody binds to the 4'- monophosphoryl GlcN   disaccharide. The antibody does not cross react with lipopolysaccharides   (LPS). The antibody cross reacts with ssDNA. Lipid A is the lipid component   of LPS contained in gram-negative bacteria. Lipid A is the endotoxic   principle of LPS.

Alternative Name

lipA

UniProt

Immunogen

The original antibody was generated by   immunizing BALB/c mice with lipA.

Application Notes

In passive immunohemolysis, the antibody reacted   with bisphosphoryl compounds as well as with the 4'-monophosphoryl partial   structures (Kuhn et al., 1992; PMID 1375194). The specificity of the antibody   was determined by ELISA analysis. The crystal structures of the Fab fragment in complex with lipid A carbohydrate backbone and in the unliganded form were   determined by X-ray diffraction, showing the binding mechanism of the   antibody is a lock and key type. Further, the structure of the Fab fragment   in complex with single-stranded DNA fragment 5(dT) oligonucleotide was   determined. The antibody bound two separate oligonucleotides by their   terminal 5- and 3-phosphate groups (Haji-Ghassemi et al., 2015; PMID:   26085093). Solid-phase enzyme immunoassay shown the antibody binds better to   the glycoconjugate at low antigen concentrations and better to the lipid A   when high concentrations of antigen were used (Brade et al., 1993).
