Abstract:The monoclonal antibody (mAb) U.u. 5B2 against the urease of U. urealyticum (U.u) serotype 8, was affinity purified and was found to be an IgG 1 type, with an apparent dissociation constant of 2.9 × 10−10 M. Immunoblot analysis of the cytoplasmic proteins of U.u electrophoresed under non‐denaturing conditions showed a reaction with a major and a minor band corresponding to the urease activity. The mAb, U.u.5B2 inhibited the urease activity up to 93% and precipitated a protein from the cytoplasm with a molecula… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
