Mab LOSM4
Antibody type and class
IgM
Assay System
Western blotting and immunoprecipitation techniques, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and competitive ELISA
Cross-reactivity
LOSM4 reacted strongly to WEA from serotypes b and d, to a lesser extent to serotypes c, e, and a, and weakly with serotype g

Proposed Utility
Using this monoclonal antibody, it has been demonstrated that cross-reactivity and conservation of the specific epitopes among the various S. mutans serotypes. These Mab should be useful in studying the streptococcal surface moities
