| Key features and details | |
| Cat. No. | MABL-2297 | 
| Name | Anti-M protein, serotype 5 mAbs | 
| Clone No. | AFD- 24.1.2 | 
| From | Recombinant Antibody | 
| Isotype | Engineer antibody | 
| Application | ELISA | 
| Species Reactivity | Streptococcus pyogenes, Human | 
| Basic Information | |
| Specificity | This antibody reacts with α-helical molecules and is anti-nuclear (binds DNA). Specifically, it binds streptococcal M-protein (type 5), human myosin, actin, tropomyosin, and troponin. | 
| Alternative Name | Myosin; Streptococcal M-protein; Actin; Tropomyosin; Troponin | 
| UniProt | P02977 | 
| Immunogen | The original antibody was generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with streptococcal M type 5 membranes followed by a second, boosting dose of Lysin M5. | 
| Application Notes | This antibody binds myosin at a low relative avidity, as determined in a competitive ELISA (Mertens et al., 2000; PMID: 11282394). | 
| Antibody First Published | Cunningham et al. Human and murine antibodies cross-reactive with streptococcal M protein and myosin recognize the sequence GLN-LYS-SER-LYS-GLN in M protein J Immunol. 1989 Oct 15;143(8):2677-83 PMID:2677144 | 
| Note on publication | The original publication describes the use of overlapping synthetic peptides to map the myosin cross-reactive epitopes of streptococcal M protein recognized by antibodies from acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease sera. |
