name:
A monoclonal antibody directed to terminal residue of beta-galactofuranose of a glycolipid antigen isolated from Paracoccidioides brasiliensis: cross-reactivity with Leishmania major and Trypanosoma cruzi.
description:
The epitope is the terminal residue of P. brasiliensis phosphoglyceroglycolipid Band 1 antigen. It is also found in other glycolipids as those from Leishmania and Trypanosoma.
The epitope specific mAb MEST-1 cross-reacted with T. cruzi strains CL and Y epimastigotes, for which the presence of antigenic galactofuranose- containing glycoconjugates has been described.
