General description

The antibody is positive against Staphylococcal enterotoxin A, negative versus Staphylococcal enterotoxin B, Cholera toxin, and Pseudomonas exotoxin A (protein concentration: 50-500 ng/dot). The antibody has not been tested for neutralization potency against active Staphylococcal enterotoxin A.

Immunogen

enterotoxin A from Staphylococcus aureus.

Application

Anti-Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A antibody has been used in western blotting, and enterotoxin A detection by ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay).
Anti-Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A antibody produced in rabbit was used as a control to SEA-conjugated MUSE11 antibody produced in xenografted SCID mice.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) from Staphylococcal aureus is leading agent that causes of food poisoning. A concentration of as little as 0.5 mg/ml is sufficient to result in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and cramps. It stimulates the cell proliferation of peripheral lymphocytes, induces the production of interferons and is important for gut immunity against S. aureus infections.

To reinforce cytotoxic activity and the targeting ability of lymphokine-activated killer cells with a T-cell phenotype (T-LAK) for adoptive immunotherapy against human bile duct carcinoma (BDC), staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) was conjugated chemically with MUSE11 monoclonal antibody (MUSE11 mAb), directed

In cancer immunotherapy research, many bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) have been developed for directing T cells toward tumor cells. Recent advances in genetic engineering have made it possible to prepare immunoglobulin fragments consisting of variable domains using bacterial expression systems. Therefore

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
