Monoclonal antibody to Shiga toxin 2 which blocks receptor binding and neutralizes cytotoxicity.
|
| description: |
The enterobacteria phage is the source of the toxin expressed in E.coli strains such as O157:H7.
By testing variants and point mutants of Stx2, it was determined that the glutamic acid at position 56 is critical for the binding of monoclonal antibody to the Stx2 protein. The monoclonal antibody cross-reacted with Stx2 from various strains of E. coli, including 0157 V50, 0157V354, V601, H7 TK051, 019:H22K080, 022H-KY019, and OUT:H21 TK096.
