SKU: orb344677

Description

OspB antibody

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: ELISA, WB
• Dilution range: ELISA: 1:13,000, WB: 1:1,000
• Reactivity: Bacteria
• Application Notes:
  This protein-A purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and Western blotting. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the user. Expect a band approximately 30.3 kDa in size corresponding to Borrelia burgdorferi OspB protein by Western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.

Key Properties

• Antibody Type: Primary Antibody
• Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Isotype: IgG
• Immunogen: MBP-fusion protein corresponding to Borrelia burgdorferi OspB protein.
• Purity: This product was Protein-A purified and cross-adsorbed against MBP from monospecific antiserum by chromatography. This antibody is specific for Borrelia burgdorferi OspB protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with OspB from B. burgdorferi, afzelii, spielmanii, and garinii sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence, and with B. valaisiana based on 99% homology. Cross-reactivity with OspB from other sources has not been determined.
• Conjugation: Unconjugated

Storage & Handling

• Storage: Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
• Form/Appearance: Liquid (sterile filtered)
• Buffer/Preservatives: 0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide
• Concentration: 1.1 mg/mL
• Dry Ice Shipping: Please note: This product requires shipment on dry ice. A dry ice surcharge will apply.
• Disclaimer: For research use only

Alternative Names

rabbit anti-OspB Antibody, Outer surface protein B, Borrelia burgdorferi OspB, locus BB_A16

Western blot showing detection of 0.1 µg of recombinant OspB protein. Lane 1: Molecular weight markers. Lane 2: MBP-OspB fusion protein (arrow; expected MW = 72.7 kDa). Lane 3: MBP alone. Protein was run on a 4-20% gel, then transferred to 0.45 µm nitrocellulose. After blocking with 1% BSA-TTBS (p/n orb348540, diluted to 1X) overnight at 4°C, primary antibody was used at 1:1000 at room temperature for 30 min. HRP-conjugated Goat-Anti-Rabbit (p/n orb347654) secondary antibody was used at 1:40000 in orb348637 blocking buffer.
