Abstract excerpt
We determined the pattern of cross-reactivity of a panel of anti-streptokinase (SK) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with SK variants in order to map the antigenic and functional epitope of SK. Comparison of the pattern of cross-reactivity of the anti-SK mAb A4.3 with SK variants and sequence alignments of SK variants and native (n) SK suggested that mutation of Ser 138 to Lys results in loss of binding of mAb A4.3...
