| Basic Structure | N/A
|
| BCSDB Structure | N/A |
| Proposed functions | N/A |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Formalin-fixed A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 4 cells |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Mab 5H7 |
| Antibody type and class | IgM |
| Assay System | Whole cell ELISA and slide agglutination tests |
| Cross-reactivity | This Mab failed to recognize surface epitopes located on other bacterial, such as H. parasuis, P. haemolytica, P. multocida capsular types A and D, Haemophilus taxon minor group, and A. suis, K. pneumoniae and B. bronchiseptica. This Mab exhibited 75.8 and 27.3% reactivities with 29 serotype 4 and 12 serotype7 isolates, respectively, and partial binding to serotype 1 and nontypeable isolates |
| Proposed epitopes | N/A
|
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | This MAb could be useful for the serological diagnostic of animals infected with serotypes 4 and 7 by inhibition ELISA or competition ELISA. Moreover, they could be useful as complementary reagents to polyclonal sera for serotyping of field isolates belonging to A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 4 or 7 |
