Background and Research Application
The genus Listeria comprises six species: L. monocytogenes, L. innocua, L. welshimeri, L. seeligeri, L. ivanovii and L. grayi. Listeria monocytogenes, the most commonly isolated pathogenic member, is associated with a wide spectrum of human and animal diseases. In the smear from the original tissue, L. monocytogenes may appear as gram-positive coccobacilli that may be confused with Streptococcus agalactiae (group B), enterococci, or Corynebacterium spp. Listeria is differentiated from streptococci by a positive catalase test. L. monocytogenes is the only species of the genus Listeria that has been clearly documented as a pathogen for humans. The forms of disease caused by this organism are myriad and age-related. The most common clinical manifestations are meningitis and septicaemia. Listeria monocytogenes, a food-borne intracellular animal and human pathogen, interacts with infected host cells both prior to entry and during the intracellular phase of infection.
Host Mouse

Points of Interest
Specific for Listeria monocytogenes, not reactive for S. aureus, S. faecalis, B. subtilis, E. coli

- Whole heat-killed liesteria cells were used at the immunogen for the genertion of these antibodies
- Both mAbs [2:4 E10] and [2:13 C5] detect the same antigen but has different Ig subclass.

Concentration
