Anti-Coli C is a polyspecific screening reagent that is intended for use in serological detection of specific antigena of E.coli strains.

• Method: Slide agglutination. If the isolated strain has E.coli antigen, within the range of the testing reagent, antigen-antibody reaction results in a visible agglutination. A negative result is reported in the absence of agglutination.
• Range: polyspecific (O 9:K 35, O 101:K 28, O 101:K 30, O 101:K 32); serological detection of O 9:K 35, O 101:K 28, O 101:K 30, O 101:K 32 or F 5 (K 99) antigen.
• Composition: A mixture of monoclonal antibodies derived from the supernatant of the culture medium of hybridoma cell lines secreting antibodies against the specific E.coli antigens.
• Preservative: Sodium Azide (NaN3) 0.9mg/ml
• Form of the reagent: Liquid
• Storage: 2-8⁰C

An isolate with positive results requires testing with monospecific reagents for further characterisation and to rule out unspecific agglutinations a check by the Gruber-Widal test (confirmation test).

Anti-Coli C is relevant to veterinary medicine by E.coli diagnostics in young poutry.
