Monoclonal antibodies recognizing the surface autolysin IspC of Listeria monocytogenes serotype 4b: epitope localization, kinetic characterization, and cross-reaction studies.

Listeria monocytogenes serotype 4b is responsible for a high percentage of fatal cases of food-borne infection. In a previous study, we created 15 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against a ≈ 77 kDa antigen that is associated with the cell surface of live L. monocytogenes serotype 4b cells. Here we repo...
