Anti- Proteus vulgaris antibody produced in rabbit

Proteus vulgaris is a Gram negative rod-shaped bacteria, belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family. Members of the genus Proteus (Proteus spp.) which also includes Proteus mirabilis, Proteus penneri and Proteus hauseri, originally characterize by their ability to swarm on solid surfaces, are widespread in the environment and the gastrointestinal tract of human and animals and known to be an opportunistic pathogens isolated from urine, wounds and other clinical sources. The Proteus spp. bacteria, are distinguished by their reactions for indole production, salicin fermentation and aesculin hydrolysis. P. vulgaris produces indole which differentiates it from the indole-negative P. mirabilis and P. penneri. Proteus spp. bacteria may also be found in soil or water habitats where they often regarded as indicators of fecal pollution and a contamination threat for potential water or seafood poisoning.

Proteus vulgaris dead OX19 bacteria: ATCC strain 6380

Anti-Proteus vulgaris antibody recognizes P. vulgaris whole extract and P. vulgaris LPS, the antibody also recognizes an additional ~70kDa band suspected as bacterial HSP70 (DNAK) in whole extract P. mirabilis, P. gingivalis, E.coli K-12, P.aeruginosa, S. flexneri, S. enterica and E. faecalis but it has no cross reactivity with P. mirabilis LPS. The antibody may be used in various immunochemical techniques including Immunoblotting and ELISA.
