Recombinant monoclonal antibody to Myosin. Manufactured using AbAb’s Recombinant Platform with variable regions (i.e. specificity) from the hybridoma 2D6-B1.
Alternative Name(s) of Target: Q02566; Q91Z83; Q61879; Q6URW6; O08638; P13542; P13541; P97434; A2AQP0; Q02566
Immunogen: This antibody was raised by immunising DBA/2 mice with cardiac myosin purified from BALB/c mouse hearts.
Specificity: This antibody is specific for MF1, a fragment spanning amino acids 1 - 562 in the S1 domain of the head region of murine cardiac myosin. This antibody cross-reacts with keratin and GlcNAc-BSA.
Application Notes: The reactivity of this antibody with mouse cardiac myosin and GlcNAc-BSA has been confirmed in ELISA analysis (Malkiel et al, 2000).The affinity of this antibody for myosin is higher than its affinity for GlcNAc-BSA (Malkiel et al, 2000). Administration of this antibody induces autoimmune myocarditis in DBA/2 mice, but not BALB/c mice (Liao et al, 1995). Equally, in immunohistochemical analysis, this antibody has been shown to be deposited throughout the hearts of DBA/2 mice, but not BALB/c mice (Liao et al, 1995).
