Chimeric Use Statement:This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG2a format for improved compatibility with existing reagents assays and techniques.
Specificity Statement:This antibody recognizes the P1.7 loop of the PorA protein of Neisseria meningitidis. Epitope mapping revealed that this antibody specifically binds a sequence 'ASGQ'. This antibody can bind both A and B serotype of Neisseria meningitidis. The major outer membrane protein PorA of Neisseria meningitidis is the target for bactericidal serosubtyping antibodies and is currently considered as a potential vaccine candidate against group B meningococcal disease.
Application Notes:This antibody showed both bactericidal and opsonophagocytic for P1.7-expressing meningococci. The lowest concentration resulting in >50% killing of strain 44/76-SL was reported to be 0.5 µg/l. The opsonic activity of this antibody was measured against strain 44/76-SL with human peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) as the effector cells and human serum as the complement source. This antibody demonstrated high opsonophagocytic activity with >80% of PMNs exhibiting measurable RB at a concentration of the MAbs of <10 μg/ml. This antibody was opsonic for the test strain 44/76-SL at a concentration of 0.2 μg/ml (PMID: 10722576). This antibody is not capable of binding meningococcal isolates expressing some variations of the P1.7 family especially P1.7b in a whole cell ELISA (PMID: 10512717). This antibody can be used in the detection of outer membrane protein of N. meningitidis strains like 44/76 using an ELISA (PMID: 12753502). This antibody was also used for the analysis of isogenic target strains derived from H44/76 (B:15:P1.7,16) in a western blot assay (PMID: 8698504).
