OspC antibody

Reactivity: Borrelia burgdorferi ELISA, WB Host: Rabbit Polyclonal unconjugated
Catalog No. ABIN964717
  • Target
    OspC
    Reactivity
    Borrelia burgdorferi
    Host
    Rabbit
    Clonality
    Polyclonal
    Application
    ELISA, Western Blotting (WB)
    Specificity
    This product was Protein-A purified and cross-adsorbed against MBP from monospecific antiserum by chromatography. This antibody is specific for Borrelia burgdorferi OspC protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with p39 from B. burgdorferi, afzelii, and valaisiana sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Partial reactivity is expected against B. japonica and americana sources based on 94% homology. Cross-reactivity with OspC from other sources has not been determined.
    Characteristics
    Outer Surface Protein C, or OspC, is a 20.7 kDa immunogenic protein on the outer surface of the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Its function is not known, but it is located with lipid-anchoring sites on the outer cell membrane.
    Purification
    purified
    Sterility
    Sterile filtered
    Immunogen
    MBP-fusion protein corresponding to Borrelia burgdorferi OspC protein.
    Immunogen Type: RecombinantProtein
    Isotype
    IgG
  • Application Notes
    This protein-A purified antibody has been tested for use in Western blotting and in ELISA. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the user. Expect a band approximately 20.7 kDa in size corresponding to Borrelia burgdorferi OspC protein by Western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
