Anti-TB 38Kd Antigen Antibody [B12F8]

Manufactured by Antibodies.com as a primary antibody reagent, this mouse monoclonal reagent clone B12F8 was raised against the 38 kDa antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is supplied at 500 µg in a lyophilised format. The unconjugated IgG1 antibody is validated for ELISA and Western blot workflows and is reactive with human samples, making it a useful tool for tuberculosis research and for the serological detection of MTB-specific proteins such as ESAT-6, CFP10 and the 38 kDa antigen that support screening of active pulmonary infection. The immunogen corresponds to a recombinant M. tuberculosis protein derived from the virulent H37Rv strain, ensuring reactivity with the native target. For short-term handling the lyophilised product can be kept refrigerated, while long-term storage is recommended at –20 °C with aliquoting after reconstitution to limit damage from repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Researchers working on TB diagnostics, host-pathogen studies or immunoassay development can rely on the consistent monoclonal performance of clone B12F8 to deliver reproducible signal in ELISA plates and on Western blots probing the 38 kDa band.
