Anti-Burkholderia mallei BpaB [BpaB#4] Antibody
This mouse IgG monoclonal antibody was generated against purified his-tagged BpaB and is specific for Burkholderia mallei autotransporter BpaB.
Highlights:
- Reacts with Burkholderia mallei autotransporter BpaB
- Possible tool for the development of therapeutic measures against Burkholderia
- Recommended for ELISA, Immunofluorescence, Western Blot and Flow Cytometry applications
Recombinant versions available from our sister company, Absolute Antibody:
- Manufactured using Absolute Antibody’s Recombinant Platform with variable regions (i.e., specificity) from the hybridoma BpaB#4.
Autotransporter proteins (AT) form one of the largest class of virulence factors in Gram-negative organisms and perform important functions in pathogenesis including flocculation, formation of biofilms , complement resistance, host cell adhesion and entry, intracellular motility and replication, cytotoxicity, and lipolytic activity. Given their function in pathogenesis and overall structure, AT are excellent targets for developing medical countermeasures (MCM) against pathogenic organisms. A significant portion of AT (passenger domain) is readily accessible for recognition by the immune system as it is exposed on the bacterial surface.

Western Blot
BpaB production by E. coli recombinant strains. Equivalent amounts of whole cell lysates (WCL), total membrane proteins (TMP) and sarkosyl-insoluble fractions containing OM proteins (OMP) were resolved by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membranes and analyzed by western blot with the monoclonal antibody BpaB-MAb#4. Molecular weight markers are shown to the left in kilodaltons.
