murine MAb against BaCRASP-1/cspA of Borrelia afzelii, Clone BaC3/1.12

Description
Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in North America and Europe. The causative agent Borrelia burgdorferi is a bacterium that is maintained in an enzoonotic cycle between Ixodes ticks and a large range of mammals. Adaptation to the diverse environmental conditions, including sophisticated means of evading the vertebrate hosts' immune system, in particular complement occurs at the first line of defense following infection. Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato spirochetes express up to five complement regulator-acquiring surface proteins (CRASPs) binding human complement regulators.

Properties
The monoclonal antibody ADG0170L (clone BaC3/1.12) is a murine monoclonal antibody, subclass IgG2b recognizing BaCRASP-1. Mice were immunized with cell lysates of Borrelia afzeliii. The antibody has been purified from cell culture supernatant using Protein G affinity chromatography.

Presentation
Vial containing 1 mg purified antibody in PBS pH 7.4. The concentration is given on the vial label. Spin the vial briefly before opening.

Storage and Stability
Store the antibody at 2°-8°C. For long-term storage the antibody should be aliquoted and stored at –20°C or colder. It is recommended to avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Applications
ELISA
The antibody can be used as capture antibody in ELISAs. An antibody concentration of 1-10 µg/ml is recommended.
Westernblot
The antibody is suitable for Western blot analysis, detecting native and recombinant BaCRASP-1 following SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. A primary antibody concentration of 1-10 µg/ml is recommended.
Immunocytochemistry
The antibody can be used for immune-cytochemistry on paraformaldehyde fixed spirochetes.
