Characterization of a novel high-affinity monoclonal immunoglobulin G antibody against the ricin B subunit.
|
| description: |
The epitope conform to the consensus motif X-P-X-X-S-X-T-X, found to have homology to the LWPCKSNTD region of ricin chain B, to which the selecting mAb was raised. The sequence LWPCKSNTD is also found in the sequence-related, non-toxic lectin RCA-1, also from R. communis.
The epitope-specific anti-ricin chain B mAb bound the RCA-1 lectin, which is highly homologous in sequence to ricin but is not toxic, in ELISA.
