Yersinia ruckeri (Mouse, Anti-Yersinia ruckeri, Klon 7F5/F6)

Mouse monoclonal antibody IgG fraction (clone 7F5/F6) obtained by immunizing mice with five Chilean isolates of Yersinia ruckeri (whole bacterial cells). The IgG fraction was purified using Protein G-Sepharose.

Isotype: IgG2b.

Stability: Stable at least one year at -20ºC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.

Applications: : This antibody can be used in ELISA (1: 4,000 dilution), Western blot (1: 8,000 dilution), and indirect immunoflurescence (1: 1,000 dilution) assays. Y. ruckeri is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that shows a variable motility due to the presence of flagella. These flagella are not always observed. It is the causative agent of enteric redmouth disease (ERM) which is characterized by a chronic or acute enterosepticemia with high morbidity and mortality rates in salmonids and non-salmonids species. Six serovars have been described according to whole-cell serological typing.

Formulation: : Solution at 1.0 mg/mL in PBS.
