Anti-Aspergillus fumigatus [8A1] Antibody
![Anti-Aspergillus fumigatus [8A1] Hybridoma](https://www.kerafast.com/MediaStorage/Product/Images/Large/4816_2001202001290348150.jpg "Anti-Aspergillus fumigatus [8A1] Hybridoma, 1 vial")
This hybridoma line constitutively produces a mouse anti-Aspergillus fumigatus monoclonal antibody (clone 8A1) specific to the conidium and basal region.
Highlights:
- Reacts with Aspergillus fumigatus
- Suitable for ELISA and Immunofluorescence applications
Recombinant versions available at our sister company, Absolute Antibody:
- Clone 8A1 available in various species, isotope and/or format
- Manufactured using Absolute Antibody’s Recombinant Platform with variable regions (i.e., specificity) from the hybridoma 8A1
Aspergillus fumigatus is a widespread saprobe that breaks down organic material in soil. The conidia of this fungus are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and commonly inhaled. In healthy individuals, A. fumigatus can cause allergic reactions or localized infections. In the immunocompromised, however, it can cause invasive aspergillosis, an increasingly frequent and often fatal diease.

A. fumigatus mAbs show distinct localization patterns
A. fumigatus 237 was grown for 1214 h, fixed, incubated with primary mAb, followed by FITC-conjugated anti-mouse secondary antibody, Calcofluor White to label chitin and Hoechst 33258 to label nuclei. Primary antibodies: mAb1E2 (a), mAb8A1 (b) and mAb19H1 (c). Left column, FITC; right column, chitinous cell wall and nuclei. Arrows mark conidia; arrowheads mark septa; the double arrowhead marks a newly formed branch from main hypha.
