Klebsiella aerogens polysaccharide K15 (clone EBS-I-101), anti-K. aerogenesK15

Source:
A BALB/c mouse was immunized with Klebsiella aerogenes K15 purified polysaccharide.
Fusion partner: Sp2/0.

Specifications:
Klebsiella refers to a genus of extremely common, non-motile, Gram-negative bacteria that are encased by a prominent polysaccharide-based capsule and are capable of lactose fermentation and nitrogen fixation under anaerobic conditions. Occurring naturally in soil and in the normal flora of the skin, mouth and intestines, Klebsiella bacteria can cause a wide range of diseases, including soft tissue infections, septicemia, urinary tract infections and, most notably, pneumonia. Klebsiella exists as dozens of different serologically classified strains, which differ in their capsule composition. Klebsiella K15 is one of the many serotypes of Klebsiella bacteria.EBS-I-101is specific for Klebsiella aerogenesK15 polysaccharide and only reacts with Klebsiella capsular serotype 15 (K15) NCTC 9135.

Species reactivity:
Positive: K. aerogenesK15.

Applications:
Test for presence of K. aerogenesK15.
ELISA: +
Frozen sections: +
Immunofluorescence: +

Positive control: Klebsiella species capsular serotype 15 (K15) NCTC 9135.
