Anti-Legionella pneumophila Antibody

Sourced through Antibodies.com, this mouse-derived monoclonal reagent is raised against Legionella pneumophila, the Gram-negative bacterium responsible for Legionnaires' disease and Pontiac fever. The immunoglobulin is produced in a murine host and is supplied as a Protein A-purified monoclonal preparation of the IgG3 isotype, presented in unconjugated form for maximum flexibility in assay design. Each vial contains 1 mg of total antibody, a pack size well suited to routine screening campaigns and the development of immunoassays for water-testing, environmental monitoring, or clinical diagnostics workflows. The clone has been validated for use in ELISA and indirect immunofluorescence assays (IFA), making it a dependable capture or detection reagent for the detection of L. pneumophila antigens, including the LPS component characteristic of the Philadelphia 1 strain and related serogroup 1 isolates. Reactivity is directed against Legionella pneumophila, with the unconjugated format allowing end users to conjugate the antibody to biotin, horseradish peroxidase, fluorophores, or gold nanoparticles according to the requirements of their specific ELISA plate, lateral flow membrane, or immunofluorescence protocol. For handling, the product is shipped cold and should be stored at 2–8 °C for short-term use, with aliquoting and freezing at –20 °C recommended for long-term stability; repeated freeze–thaw cycles should be avoided to preserve binding activity. Intended for research and laboratory use only, this reagent from Antibodies.com offers a reliable, well-characterized tool for laboratories working on Legionella surveillance, outbreak investigation, or general microbiology research.
