Key Product Details

Species Reactivity

Bacteria

Applications

Western Blot

Label

Unconjugated

Antibody Source

Polyclonal Rabbit IgG

Concentration

This product is unpurified. The exact concentration of antibody is not quantifiable.

Product Specifications

Immunogen

The antibody was developed by immunizing rabbits with synthetic peptides corresponding to amino acids 186-192 of the Anthrax PA protein (approx. 83 kDa).

Reactivity Notes

Anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) Protective Antigen (PA)

Specificity

PA is cleaved from the 83 kDa form to the 63 kDa form at amino acids 164-167. Thus the antibody (made against amino acids 186-192) should recognize both the 83 kDa and 63 kDa PA forms, but not the 20 kDa cleavage fragment.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Host

Rabbit

Isotype

IgG

Background: Anthrax PA

Anthrax PA (Protective Antigen) and Anthrax LF (Lethal Factor), along with Anthrax EF (Edema Factor), are toxins produced by Bacillus anthracis. All three of the proteins must be present for toxic entry into cells. PA is secreted from Bacillus anthracis as an 83 kDa (PA83) protein which is cleaved by furin protease, releasing a 20 kDa fragment. The 63 kDa portion (PA63) of the cleavage product forms a heptamer, which binds the toxins LF and EF. This complex enters via receptor-mediated endocytosis where LF and EF exert their toxic effects.

Alternate Names
