Cat. No. LM13

MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY to (1-5)-a-L-ARABINAN (linear) / LM13

(Rat IgM)

SPECIFICITY: Isolated from a HTP screen of antibodies generated subsequent to immunization with a pectic fraction. Recognises a linear epitope in (1-5)-α-L-arabinans.

The binding of LM13 is more sensitive to arabinanase action than LM6.
