Protective and immunochemical activities of monoclonal antibodies reactive with the Bacillus anthracis polypeptide capsule.
description:
The epitope is a peptide-like structure where the D-Glutamic acid residues are linked in amide bonds between the amino group and the gamma-carboxyl group instead of the alpha-carboxyl. The B.anthracis capsule antigen is a polymer of D-glutamic acid residues where the peptide bond is made via the gamma-carboxyl group. It is enzymatically synthesized.
The interaction with poly-gamma-D-glutamic acid (gammaDPGA) was determined by triptophan fluorescence quenching analysis. These mAbs provided protection following passive transfer to animals that were further challenged with B. anthracis spores. Also a non-protective IgG1 mAb recognized the gammaDPGA.
