Mycobacterium avium Antibody (101): sc-57923

Mycobacterium avium Antibody (101) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects Mycobacterium avium with species reactivity in non-species restricted (NSR) contexts by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Mycobacterium avium monoclonal antibody (101) recognizes a significant pathogen within the Mycobacterium genus, known for causing serious infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Mycobacterium avium (101) antibody targets a protein that plays a crucial role in the bacterium′s survival in harsh environments, largely due to its unique cell wall structure, characterized by a thick, waxy layer rich in mycolic acids. This distinctive architecture provides a formidable barrier against antibiotics and host immune responses while contributing to resilience against detergents, alkalis, and oxidative stress. Understanding Mycobacterium avium′s structure is vital for developing effective therapeutic strategies, as this directly influences pathogenicity and resistance mechanisms. Mycobacterium avium commonly occurs in the environment and can lead to severe pulmonary infections in humans, particularly in those with weakened immune systems, such as AIDS patients. Anti-Mycobacterium avium antibody (101) serves as an essential tool for researchers studying this pathogen, facilitating the exploration of its biology and interactions within host systems.

The preferred Mycobacterium avium antibody is Mycobacterium avium Antibody (103): sc-66066.
