Can anyone recommend a good OmpA antibody that can be used for Immunofluorescence experiments, specifically for E.coli staining?

03 March 2015 1 5K Report

I'm trying to use OmpA as a control for my microscopy work as it's a major outer membrane protein, abundant in almost all bacterial strains. Is OmpA antibody commercially available? or does anyone used it before for any microscopy work?

Adam B Shapiro

E. coli OmpA antibody is available commercially. I have never used it myself:
