Research Area

Product Categories/Products/Antibodies,Immunogen Type: Recombinant Protein

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: ELISA, WB
• Dilution Range: WB: 1:1,000
• Reactivity: Bacteria
• 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.

Key Properties

• Antibody Type: Primary Antibody
• Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Isotype: IgG
• Immunogen: MBP-fusion protein corresponding to Borrelia burgdorferi OspC protein.
• Purity: 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.
• Conjugation: Unconjugated

Storage & Handling
