Klebsiella K15 Antibody (311/408): sc-80860

Klebsiella K15 Antibody (311/408) is a mouse monoclonal IgG3 antibody that detects Klebsiella K15 protein by immunofluorescence (IF). Anti-Klebsiella K15 antibody (311/408) is available as a non-conjugated format, specifically designed to target one of the many serotypes of Klebsiella bacteria, which are known for their significant role in various infections. Klebsiella K15 (311/408) antibody recognizes the bacterial capsule protein, a critical structure that enhances virulence by providing protection against phagocytosis and contributing to immune evasion. This polysaccharide capsule aids in Klebsiella survival in hostile environments and plays a vital role in causing diseases such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and septicemia. Understanding Klebsiella K15 protein function is essential for developing targeted therapies and diagnostics for infections caused by this opportunistic pathogen.
