SEI Antibody (SEI-17A): sc-66135

SEI Antibody (SEI-17A) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects Staphylococcus Enterotoxin I (SEI) of Staphylococcus aureus by western blotting (WB). Anti-SEI antibody (SEI-17A) plays a crucial role in the study of foodborne illnesses and toxic shock syndrome, as SEI is a potent enterotoxin produced by Staphylococcus aureus that can lead to severe gastrointestinal distress and systemic effects. SEI is secreted into the environment and can bind to MHC class II molecules, leading to an inappropriate activation of T cells, which is a key factor in the pathogenesis of toxic shock syndrome. SEI′s ability to induce a massive immune response is significant, as symptoms range from fever and hypotension to multi-organ failure, highlighting the importance of understanding these mechanisms of action. SEI monoclonal antibody (SEI-17A) enables researchers to effectively investigate the presence and effects of this toxin, contributing to a better understanding of its role in Staphylococcus aureus-related diseases and the development of potential therapeutic strategies.
