General description

Anthrax PA Antibody: Anthrax infection is initiated by the inhalation, ingestion, or cutaneous contact with Bacillus anthracis endospores. B. anthracis produces three polypeptides that comprise the anthrax toxin: protective antigen (PA), lethal factor (LF), and edema factor (EF). PA binds to two related proteins on the cell surface; these are termed tumor epithelial marker 8 (TEM8)/anthrax toxin receptor (ATR) and capillary morphogenesis protein 2 (CMG2), although it is still unclear which is physiologically relevant. Following PA binding to its receptor, PA is cleaved into two fragments by a furin-like protease. The bound fragment binds both LF and EF; the resulting complex is then endocytosed which allows the translocation of LF and EF into the cytoplasm. These toxins are usually sufficient to cause rapid cell death, and often the death of the organism.

Immunogen

Anthrax PA antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to 16 amino acids in the middle of the Anthrax protective antigen protein.The immunogen is located within amino acids 300 - 350 of Anthrax PA .

Application

Anthrax PA antibody can be used for the detection of Anthrax PA protein in ELISA. It will detect 10 ng of free peptide at 1 μg/mL.

Physical form

Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
