Listeria monocytogenes Antibody (LX99): sc-66105

Listeria monocytogenes Antibody (LX99) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Listeria monocytogenes by western blotting (WB). Listeria monocytogenes monoclonal antibody (LX99) recognizes Listeria monocytogenes species. Listeria monocytogenes is a gram-positive bacterium known for its unique ability to move within host cells by utilizing a protein called ActA, which facilitates the polymerization of actin to form comet tails. This motility is crucial for the bacterium′s pathogenicity, as Listeria monocytogenes spreads from cell to cell, evading the host′s immune response and establishing a robust infection. The ability of Listeria monocytogenes to manipulate the host cell′s cytoskeleton not only aids in intracellular movement but also enhances virulence, making Listeria monocytogenes a significant concern in food safety and public health. Anti-Listeria monocytogenes antibody (LX99) serves as an essential tool for researchers studying the mechanisms of listeriosis, particularly in understanding how this pathogen interacts with host cells and the subsequent immune responses.
