Anti-Shigella Antibody

Polyclonal rabbit antibodies targeting Shigella species are available from Antibodies.com as a reagent for immunological detection of this gram-negative enteric pathogen across ELISA, immunofluorescence assay (IFA), and Western blot workflows. The antibody is supplied as a purified Ig fraction in a 500 µl vial and is unconjugated, allowing flexible coupling to secondary reporters or enzymes depending on the chosen detection chemistry.

Raised in a rabbit host, the polyclonal format recognizes multiple epitopes across Shigella's lipopolysaccharide and outer membrane protein antigens, supporting detection of the four major species: S. dysenteriae, S. flexneri, S. boydii, and S. sonnei. This breadth suits the reagent to food microbiology testing, waterborne pathogen surveillance, and clinical research into shigellosis outbreaks and host-pathogen interactions.

Functioning as a primary binding reagent in indirect immunoassays, this unconjugated antibody pairs with enzyme- or fluorophore-labeled secondary antibodies to generate the assay readout. Standard polyclonal antibody handling applies: aliquot the stock upon receipt to limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles and preserve binding activity across experiments.
