Conjugated Peptide
Anti-Anthrax lethal factor antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to 16 amino acids near the C-terminus of the Anthrax lethal factor protein.
Anti-Anthrax Lethal Factor Antibody was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. Cross reactivity with Anthrax Lethal Factor from other sources has not been determined.
Application Details
ELISA
Anti-Anthrax Lethal Factor Antibody has been tested for use in ELISA. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band at approximately 94 kDa in Western Blots of specific cell lysates and tissues.

Anthrax infection is initiated by the inhalation, ingestion, or cutaneous contact with Bacillus anthracis endospores. B. anthracis produces three polypeptides that comprise the anthrax toxin: protective antigen (PA), lethal factor (LF), and edema factor (EF). PA binds to two related proteins on the cell surface; these are termed tumor epithelial marker 8 (TEM8)/anthrax toxin receptor (ATR) and capillary morphogenesis protein 2 (CMG2), although it is still unclear which is physiologically relevant. Following PA binding to its receptor, PA is cleaved into two fragments by a furin-like protease. The bound fragment binds both LF and EF; the resulting complex is then endocytosed which allows the translocation of LF and EF into the cytoplasm. LF is the primary toxin of anthrax and functions as a highly specific protease that cleaves members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK) family near their amino terminus, interfering with MAPK signaling and inducing apoptosis.
