AVS Bio - Chloramphenicol mouse monoclonal antibody (clone 8B 7H 9G9)

Antibody against chloroamphenicol. Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit, preventing peptide bond formation. It is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as some intracellular pathogens. Although its clinical use is now limited due to potential toxicity—particularly bone marrow suppression—it remains a valuable tool in microbiological research and molecular biology as a selection agent in bacterial expression systems. Detection of chloramphenicol residues is important for food safety, environmental monitoring, and antibiotic resistance studies.
