Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	WSSA-RA-1
Applications	ELISA, IHC, WB
Recommend Dilution	Immunohistochemistry on paraffin sections: 1:50 (see ref. 1). ELISA. Western blot: detects diffuse band/s of approximately 14-110kDa of Rhizopus arrhizus water-soluble somatic antigens. Does not work in Immunoprecipitation.
Reactivity	Rhizopus Arrhizus
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	Water-soluble somatic antigens (WSSA) from Rhizopus arrhizus.
Specificity	This antibody specifically recognises Rhizopus arrhizus and other members of the family Mucoraceae, known as Absidia corymbifera and Rhizomucor pusillus, reacting strongly with the cytoplasm of hyphae and also possibly with the walls and septae, where present.
Formulation	Phosphate buffered saline pH7.4 containing 0.09% Sodium Azide (NaN3) State: Purified State: Liquid Ig fraction
Concentration	lot specific
Purification	Affinity chromatography
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store the antibody at 2 - 8 °C up to one month or (in aliquots) at -20 °C for longer. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Background	R. arrhizus, an angio-invasive filamentous fungus, is one of the main causative agents of systemic bovine and human zygomycosis, a worldwide and often fatal respiratory disease. Clone WSSA-RA-1 has been successfully used in immunohistochemistry for the specific and consistent in situ diagnosis of systemic bovine zygomycosis, attributed to its possible binding to a highly glycosylated moiety on non-structural components. Clone WSSA-RA-1 does not bind to water-soluble somatic antigens (WSSA) of Aspergillus spp.
Synonyms	RHIZOPUS ORYZAE
