murine MAb against OspB Borrelia burgdorferi, Clone LA-27.1
Description
Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in North America and Europe. The causative agent Borrelia burgdorferi is a bacterium that is maintained in an enzoonotic cycle between Ixodes ticks and a large range of mammals. The OspB gene is localized on the same 49-kb linear plasmid as OspA, and both genes are transcribed from a common promoter. B. burgdorferi upregulates OspA and OspB during entry into ticks. OspA and OspB contribute to the colonization of bacterium within the vector gut and facilitate survival of B. burgdorferi in ticks.
Properties
The monoclonal antibody ADG85L (clone LA-27.1) is a murine monoclonal antibody, subclass IgG1 recognizing OspB. Mice were immunized with cell lysates of Borrelia burgdorferi. The antibody has been purified from cell culture supernatant using Protein G affinity chromatography.
Presentation
Vial containing 1 mg purified antibody in PBS pH 7.4. The concentration is given on the vial label. Spin the vial briefly before opening.
Storage and Stability
Store the antibody at 2°-8°C. For long-term storage the antibody should be aliquoted and stored at –20°C or colder. It is recommended to avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
Applications
ELISA
The antibody can be used as capture antibody in ELISAs. An antibody concentration of 1-10 µg/ml is recommended.
Westernblot
The antibody is suitable for Western blot analysis, detecting native and recombinant OspB following SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. A primary antibody concentration of 1-10 µg/mL is recommended.
Immunocytochemistry
The antibody can be used for immunocytochemistry on paraformaldehyde fixed spirochetes and for cryo-electron tomography.
