murine MAb against HSP70 of Borrelia burgdorferi, Clone LA-3
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 66- to 73-kDa proteins of Borrelia burgdorferi are dominant immunogens and expressed in all strains of B. burgdorferi. The amino terminal sequence of the 70-kDa HSP70 proteins of B. burgdorferi are almost identical and exhibit remarkable sequence similarity to the DnaK heat-shock protein of E. coli.
Properties
The monoclonal antibody ADG0109L (clone LA-3) is a murine monoclonal antibody, subclass IgG2a recognizing HSP70. Mice were immunized with cell lysates of Borrelia burgdorferi. The antibody has been purified from cell culture supernatant using Protein G affinity chromatography.
Presentation
Screw capped vial containing 1 mg of purified antibody in PBS pH 7.4. The IgG 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 HSP70 following SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. A primary antibody concentration of 1-10 µg/mL is recommended.
Immunocytochemistry
The antibody can be used for immune-cytochemistry on paraformaldehyde fixed spirochetes and for cryo-electron tomography.
