The original antibody format (Mouse IgG1) was generated and evaluated. Its specificity was determined by FELISA. It exhibited a binding pattern of OAc- >> MCPS, with 50% binding observed at approximately 0.003 µg/mL and 0.3 µg/mL, respectively, under the assay conditions. This indicates a strong preference for the de-O-acetylated serogroup C capsular polysaccharide. The original antibody's pI was measured to be in the range of 5.6-6.7 (Garcia-Ojeda et al., 2000; PMID: 10603394). Surface plasmon resonance analysis confirmed its higher avidity and preference for the OAc- surface, although kinetic studies revealed short dissociation half-lives for both OAc+ and OAc- surfaces (Garcia-Ojeda, 2004; PMID: 15155652). This antibody was successfully used in a WB to detect OAc- (Mosley et al., 2009; DOI: 10.3109/10242420903388694).
