Overview
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen Ag85b, also known as FbpB secreted antigen, 85-B FbpB (85B), antigen 85 complex B, mycolyl transferase 85B, fibronectin-binding protein B, or extracellular alpha-antigen, facilitates Mycobacterium attachment to host cells via fibronectin. It is also involved in maintaining cell wall integrity through the transfer of mycolyic acids (diacylglycerol acyltransferase/mycolyltransferase activity) .
Specificity:
The rabbit polyclonal antibody to Ag85b reacts with the Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein Ag85b (FbpB), which is a diacylglycerol acyltransferase/mycolyltransferase.
