Anti-fimA

Make to order. Production time: 70-80 business days. Deliverables: 1. 200 µg antigen (used as positive control), 2. 1 ml pre-immune serum (used as negative control) , 3. Rabbit polyclonal antibody, antigen affinity purified. Quality Guarantee: 1. Antibody purity > 90% confirmed by SDS-PAGE, 2. Antibody titer > 1: 64,000 confirmed by ELISA, 3. WB positive with the immunogen protein (not applicable for synthetic peptide). Applications: ELISA, WB (positive for the recombinant immunogen protein/peptide). Buffer: Preservative: 0.03% Proclin 300, Constituents: 50% Glycerol, 0.01M PBS, pH 7.4. Protein function: Structural subunit of the major fimbriae. These long, filamentous pili are attached to the cell surface, they mediate biofilm formation, adhesion onto host cells and onto other bacteria that are part of the oral microbiome (PubMed:12593606, PubMed:15165251, PubMed:17526848, PubMed:17675496, PubMed:20530728, PubMed:27062925, PubMed:9786913). They play an important role in the invasion of periodontal tissues (PubMed:12593606). Fimbriae and their constituents are major virulence factors. FimA proteins from different strains have highly divergent sequences, and this has been used for classification (PubMed:23809984). The sequence-based classification correlates with pathogenicity (PubMed:17675496). [The UniProt Consortium]
