Recombinant monoclonal antibody to 15-acetyl-deoxynivalenol. Manufactured using AbAb’s Recombinant Platform with variable regions (i.e. specificity) from the llama peripheral lymphocytes NAT-267.
Alternative Name(s) of Target: 15-AcDON; DON; Mycotoxin; Deoxynivalenol; Vomitoxin, Fusarium mycotoxin; mNAT-267; NAT-267; ChEBI: 10022
Immunogen: The original antibody was generated by immunization of a llama (Llama glama) with the protein conjugate 15-DON-BSA in a TiterMax Classic adjuvant.
Specificity: This antibody is specific for mycotoxin 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol (15-AcDON). 15-Acetyldeoxynivalenol belongs to the class of type B trichothecene mycotoxins, generated by several Fusarium fungi. Deoxynivalenol (DON), along with 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol (3-ADON) and 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol (15-ADON), occur in grains and cereal products and is often hazardous to humans and livestock.
Application Notes: This antibody can bind 15-AcDON in a competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (CD-ELISA) and fluorescence polarization assay (FPA). This antibody does not cross react with DON; 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol (3-AcDON); neosolaniol (NEO); diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS); and T-2 toxin. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis of soluble NAT-267 binding kinetics to immobilized 15-DON-Horse Radish Peroxidase (HRP) indicated a dissociation constant KD of 5microM (PMID: 18632156).
