Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 LPS

Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 LPS Monoclonal Antibody

ORDERING INFORMATION

Catalog No.: 15901
Size: 200ug Protein G-purified antibody in PBS, 0.02% sodium azide, 1mg/ml.

BACKGROUND

Legionella pneumophila are Gram- negative aerobic coccobacilli isolated from natural and artificial fresh water reservoirs. The outer membrane of L. pneumophila is comprised of a unique lipopolysaccharide (LPS) which is less endotoxic than enterobacterial LPS. Serogroups of L. pneumophila are classified based on O- antigen determinants of their cell wall side chains. L. pneumophila is pathogenic for humans, and it has no known soil or animal sources. It is responsible for more than 98% of the cases of Legionnaires’ Disease, and about 95% of cases are due to serogroup 1. It has been isolated from numerous environmental sites as well as from human lung tissue, respiratory secretions, blood, and urine.

SPECIFICATION SUMMARY

Antigen: L. pneumophila serogroup 1 LPS conjugated to BSA.
Host Species: Mouse
Clone no.: 4CE4
Antibody Class: IgG1

SPECIFICITY

This antibody recognizes LPS of L. pneumophila serogroup 1 (SG1). It does not react with serogroups 2-9, Legionella bozemanae, or Branhamella catarrharlis.

APPLICATIONS

ELISA: use at 0.1-1.0ug/ml with LPS on the solid phase at 5ug/ml.
These are recommended concentrations. Endusers should determine optimal concentrations for their applications.

DILUTION INSTRUCTIONS

Dilute in PBS or medium that is identical to that used in the assay system.
