Specifications

Product Data

• Clone Name: WSSA-RA-1
• Applications: ELISA, IHC, WB
• Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry on paraffin sections: 1:50 (see ref. 1).
  ELISA.
  Western blot: detects diffuse band/s of approximately 14-110kDa of Rhizopus arrhizus water-soluble somatic antigens.
  Does not work in Immunoprecipitation.
• Host: Mouse
• Isotype: IgM
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Immunogen: Water-soluble somatic antigens (WSSA) from Rhizopus arrhizus.
• Specificity: This antibody specifically recognises Rhizopus arrhizus and other members of the family Mucoraceae, known as Absidia corymbifera and Rhizomucor pusillus, reacting strongly with the cytoplasm of hyphae and also possibly with the walls and septae, where present.
• Formulation: Phosphate buffered saline pH7.4 containing 0.09% Sodium Azide (NaN3)
  State: Purified
  State: Liquid Ig fraction
• Concentration: 1.0 mg/ml
• Purification: Affinity chromatography
• Background: R. arrhizus, an angio-invasive filamentous fungus, is one of the main causative agents of systemic bovine and human zygomycosis, a worldwide and often fatal respiratory disease. Clone WSSA-RA-1 has been successfully used in immunohistochemistry for the specific and consistent in situ diagnosis of systemic bovine zygomycosis, attributed to its possible binding to a highly glycosylated moiety on non-structural components.
  
  Clone WSSA-RA-1 does not bind to water-soluble somatic antigens (WSSA) of Aspergillus spp.
• Synonyms: RHIZOPUS ORYZAE
