Info

Catalogue Number 154068
Applications ELISA IHC WB
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets Mycobacterial 65-kDa hsp
Reactivity Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium
Relevance The 65 kDa protein from M.tuberculosis and M.leprae contains a striking degree of sequence homology, differing in only 28 amino acids. This antibody can distinguish the two making it potentially useful in the serodiagnosis of tuberculosis and leprosy. In addition the C-terminal epitope of mycobacterial 65-kDa hsp is shared with human epidermal suprabasal cytokeratin 1/2 making this antibody a marker of cytokeratin 1/2.
Host Mouse
Immunogen 65-kDa antigen isolated from M.tuberculosis (RIVM-strain 7114)
Positive Control M.tuberculosis
Subclass IgG1
Myeloma Used P3X63Ag8.653
Recommended Growing Conditions RPMI 1640
Strain Balb/c
Notes Reacts with M. bovis BCG, M.tuberculosis complex and M.avium complex. Does not react with 65 kDa protein from M.leprae. Epitope on mycobacterial 65 kDa heat shock protein mapped to residues in the carboxy-terminal region of amino acid residues 525-540.
Research Area Bacteriology, Immunology, Microbiology
