products full name :
Mouse anti-Pseudomonas aeruginosa (outer core specific) (5c-101)
products short name :
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (outer core specific)
products name syn :
Outer core specific; Anti-Outer core specific Mouse Monoclonal Antibody; Outer core specific
reactivity :
The antibody recognizes the Outer-core OS of P. aeruginosa LPS that has terminal D-glucose residue, as observed in strain PA01 (serotype 05), but not in strain serotype O6.
specificity :
Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotypes O2, O5, O7, O8, O10, O16, O18, O19, O20; other strains or species not tested.
form :
100 ug of lyophilized, antibody. Reconstitute in 100 uI of distilled H20 for a 1 ug/ul solution. It contains no additives.
storage stability :
Lyophilized antibody can be kept at 4 degree C for up to 3 months and should be kept at -20 degree C for long-term storage. To avoid freeze-thaw cycles, reconstituted antibody should be aliquoted before freezing for short-term storage (-20 degree C) or for long-term storage (-80 degree C). For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer . Stability: Minimum 1 year from reception date.
tested application :
Western blot (WB), ELISA (E)
app notes :
If reconstituted in 100 ul: E: 1:1000. Optimal dilution has to be determined by the user.
products description :
Product description: A specific and sensitive antibody against outer-core OS of P. aeruginosa LPS. The antibody is in a protein-free culture medium. Background information: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium widely distributed in nature and causing opportunistic infections in humans. P. aeruginosa is an important bacterial pathogen of nosocomial (hospital derived) infections, and it can also cause life threatening diseases in patients with cancer, burn wounds, cystic fibrosis and those that have received immunosuppressive therapy. Lipopolysccharide (LPS) is an integral component of the P. aeruginosa cell envelope, occupying the outer leaflet of the outer membrane in this pathogen. The outer core of P. aeruginosa LPS is composed of one d-galactosamine (GaiN), one I-Rha, and three or four d-glucose (Glcl-GlcIV) residues. It exists in two structurally distinct glycoforms, called "uncapped" and "capped" which basically differ in position and linkage of an I-Rha residue in each structure.
