Overview
This polyclonal anti-omcB antibody raised in Rabbit, conjugated with Biotin, tested in ELISA. Designed to detect omcB in Chlamydia trachomatis for others research.
Key elements and design rationale
- Immunogen: Recombinant Chlamydia trachomatis Large cysteine-rich periplasmic protein OmcB protein (15-243AA) — determines epitope; confirm sample prep compatibility.
- Host (Rabbit): Requires anti-rabbit-IgG secondary matching isotype IgG.
- Polyclonal: Multiple epitopes = robust signal; lot-to-lot variability — include controls.
- Isotype (IgG): Match secondary, Protein A/G, and isotype controls to IgG.
- Purification (Protein G purification): Enriches Ig classes; reduces non-specific background.
- Biotin: Streptavidin/avidin amplification; block endogenous biotin in biotin-rich samples.
Biological background
omcB (also: omcB, omp2, omp2B, CT_443, Large cysteine-rich periplasmic protein OmcB, Large-CRP, 60 kDa cysteine-rich OMP, 60 kDa outer membrane protein, Cysteine-rich outer membrane protein, CRP) — studied in Chlamydia trachomatis (strain D/UW-3/Cx) systems. Expression, localization, and PTMs vary across cell types and disease states. Consult UniProt, NCBI Gene, and primary literature for current omcB annotation relevant to others.
Common research applications
- ELISA: Quantify soluble target; ensure samples within the linear detection range.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isotype controls: IgG from Rabbit at equivalent concentration.
- Cross-reactivity: Polyclonal: validate with KO/KD controls.
- Matrix effects: Verify dilution linearity in your sample matrix.
- Reactivity: Confirmed for Chlamydia trachomatis; extrapolation requires validation.
This product is a polyclonal antibody purified from rabbit antiserum.
omcB is a protein studied in Chlamydia trachomatis biology. This polyclonal antibody raised in Rabbit detects omcB in ELISA applications, IgG isotype.
Reported reactive against Chlamydia trachomatis. Immunogen from Chlamydia trachomatis (strain D/UW-3/Cx). Cross-reactivity with untested species requires empirical confirmation.
Reported for ELISA. Optimize dilution/blocking per application. Consult datasheet for working concentrations.
Biotin: streptavidin/avidin amplification. Block endogenous biotin in biotin-rich samples.
(1) Isotype control: IgG from Rabbit; (2) Positive control: lysate/cell line expressing omcB; (3) Negative control: siRNA KD or KO; (4) Dilution linearity in your sample matrix.
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
