ErpN/OspE antibody

Catalog No. ABIN964638

Product Details

Target: ErpN/OspE

Reactivity: Borrelia burgdorferi

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: Un-conjugated

Application: Lateral Flow (LF), Western Blotting (WB)

Specificity: This product was Protein-A purified and cross-adsorbed against MBP from monospecific antiserum by chromatography. It is directed against, and shows specific reactivity for, Borrelia burgdorferi OspE protein. Reactivity with ErpN/OspE protein from other sources has not been determined.

Characteristics: This product is antibody made against ErpN (OspE/F-Related Protein N), from the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, which is carried by Ixodes ticks. Erp proteins from Borrelia burgdorferi are postulated to be lipoproteins, based on their predicted amino acid sequences. The spirochete migrates from the tick midgut during feeding to its salivary glands and are thus transmitted to the mammal host. This transition may be facilitated by changes in expression of some B. burgdorferi genes. It is believed that expression of the various proteins associated with the spirochete may be regulated by the changes in tick life cycle, changes in conditions during tick feeding (such as temperature, pH, and nutrients) and/or in coordination with the course of infection of the mammal host. Several studies have demonstrated that infected humans and animals produce antibodies directed against Erp proteins within the first 2-4 weeks of infection, indicative of Erp synthesis during the initial stages of vertebrate infection. It is postulated that surface-exposed Erp proteins could facilitate interactions with host tissues during the establishment of vertebrate infection.

Sterility: Sterile filtered

Immunogen: MBP-fusion protein corresponding to Borrelia burgdorferi ErpN/OspE protein.
Immunogen Type: RecombinantProtein

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: Anti-ErpN/OspE antibody has been tested in Western Blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band at 17.1 kDa in size corresponding to ErpN/OspE by Western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
