Anti-Giardia lamblia (G. lamblia) Antibody

Manufactured by Antibodies.com, this monoclonal primary antibody is raised in Mouse against the flagellated protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia (G. lamblia), with the well-characterized BB1.1E5 clone binding a 65 kDa cyst-associated antigen of the organism. Supplied as a Protein A-purified, unconjugated IgG1 (kappa light chain) liquid at 1 mg total in 1 mg/mL formulation, the reagent is validated for use in ELISA, immunofluorescence assay (IFA), and Western blot workflows, and is recommended at working ranges of 1–5 µg/mL for ELISA and 1–2 µg/mL for IF. Specificity is directed against G. lamblia trophozoites and cysts, with no cross-reactivity reported against common enteric organisms such as Campylobacter, Clostridium difficile, Cryptosporidium parvum, Escherichia coli, Helicobacter pylori, Listeria, Salmonella, Shigella, Staphylococcus aureus, or Entamoeba histolytica. The BSA- and azide-free presentation is supplied in 10 mM phosphate-buffered saline for flexibility in downstream conjugation or labeling, and should be stored at 2–8 °C short term or aliquoted at –20 °C for long-term use. Intended for research use only, the antibody supports parasitology, waterborne-pathogen surveillance, and diagnostic assay development targeting giardiasis, and is offered through AFMS as the regional distributor for the Antibodies.com catalog.
