Development and partial characterization of high-affinity monoclonal antibodies for botulinum toxin type A and their use in analysis of milk by sandwich ELISALarry H Stanker
United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Western Regional Research Center, 800 Buchanan Street, Albany, CA 94710, United States
J Immunol Methods 336:1-8. 2008..A highly sensitive sandwich ELISA, capable of detecting as little as 2 pg/mL BoNT/A was developed using mAbs F1-2 and F1-40. Such an assay represents a realistic, high sensitivity alternative to the mouse bioassay...
Characterization of the epitope region of F1-2 and F1-5, two monoclonal antibodies to Botulinum neurotoxin type AMiles C Scotcher
U S Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Western Regional Research Center, Albany, California 94710, USA
Hybridoma (Larchmt) 28:315-25. 2009..The complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of the heavy chains were found to be 78% identical. It is possible that F1-2 and F1-5 bind the same epitope via the common amino acids within their CDRs...
