Spezifität
This antibody recognises Escherichia coli and is broadly reactive with all somatic and capsular (O and K) antigenic serotypes. The somatic O antigens are composed of lipopolysaccharide complexes which form part of the cell wall structure of E. coli whilst the capsular K antigens are mainly composed of acidic polysaccharide.This antibody will remove E.coli proteins from recombinant preparations. Rabbit anti Escherichia coli antibody has not been absorbed and may cross-react with related enterobacteriaceae. Rabbit anti Escherichia coli antibody has been used in ELISA with serotypes O157:H7, O20, O125, 055, 0111 and K12.
