Name | Anti-PorA protein mAbs |
Clone No. | AFD- MN20B9.34 |
From | Recombinant Antibody |
Isotype | Engineer antibody |
Application | functional assay, WB, ELISA |
Species Reactivity | Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B |
Basic Information | |
Specificity | This antibody is specific for the P1.4 subtype antigen (HVVVNNKVATH) of serogroup B of Neisseria meningitidis. |
Alternative Name | PorA; Major outer membrane protein; outer membrane porin protein; PIA; Protein IA; Class 1 protein; serosubtype P1.4; serogroup B |
UniProt | Q51183; P0DH58 |
Immunogen | The original antibody was generated using outer membrane protein preparations from Neisseria meningitidis as immunogen. |
Application Notes | This antibody was used for the identification of PorA subtypes P1.4 using western blot. Antigenicity of the P1.4 epitope of PorA P1.7-2,4 in outer membrane vesicles and liposomes was tested by an inhibition ELISA (PMID; 14741154). This antibody is also reported to be highly bactericidal and was used as a positive control in a serum bactericidal assay (PMID: 14741154). |
