Outer membrane protein A (OmpA) is a major outer membrane protein of Escherichia coli and other Enterobacteriaeae. Although the structural features of OmpA have been well studied, its roles in the pathogenesis of various bacterial infections have not been fully elucidated. Here, we report the generation of mouse monoclonal antibody (MAb) 49.4-15, which specifically recognizes OmpA of E. coli, using immunoblot and confocal microscopic examinations. MAb 49.4-15 might be a useful tool for studying the expression and function of E. coli OmpA.
外膜蛋白A（OmpA）是大肠杆菌和其他肠杆菌科细菌的一种主要外膜蛋白。尽管OmpA的结构特征已得到充分研究，但其在各种细菌感染发病机制中的作用尚未完全阐明。在此，我们报告了小鼠单克隆抗体（MAb）49.4 - 15的产生，通过免疫印迹和共聚焦显微镜检查，该抗体可特异性识别大肠杆菌的OmpA。MAb 49.4 - 15可能是研究大肠杆菌OmpA表达和功能的有用工具。
