Key features and details | |
Cat. No. | MABL-2302 |
Name | Anti-M protein, serotype 5 mAbs |
Clone No. | AFD- 6.5.1/113.2.1 |
From | Recombinant Antibody |
Isotype | Engineer antibody |
Application | ELISA |
Species Reactivity | Streptococcus pyogenes |
Basic Information | |
Specificity | This antibody reacts with α-helical molecules and the carbohydrate N-acetyl-b-D-glucosamine (GlcNac). Specifically, it binds streptococcal M-protein, actin, keratin, DNA, and vimentin. |
Alternative Name | Streptococcal M-protein; Actin; Keratin; DNA; Vimentin |
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. |
