| Catalogue Number | 153694 |
| Applications | N/A |
| Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets | lactosamine (galβ1-4glcnac) epitope found in lipooligosaccharide (LOS) of pathogenic Neisseria species |
| Reactivity | Neisseria sp., Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis |
| Relevance | Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a human adapted pathogen that infects the reproductive tracts of both male and females causing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). In females, infection often goes undetected subsequently leading to issues with infertility |
| Host | Mouse |
| Subclass | IgM |
| Notes | N. gonorrhoeae strain 1291 monoclonal antibody. Shown to recognize common antigenic region in gonococcal lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Recognizes conserved region on 6 different different gonococcal serotypes (90% of gonococci can be typed to 1 of these 6 serotypes). Useful for researchers studying function and structure of gonococcal LPS. |
