Mouse anti Kinetoplastid Membrane Protein 11 antibody, clone L-157
recognizes Kinetoplastid Membrane Protein-11 (KMP-11), previously known as the lipophosphoglycan-associated protein (LPGAP), a 92 amino acid ~11 kDa membrane protein. Mouse anti Kinetoplastid Membrane Protein 11 antibody, clone L-157 was originally derived against Leishmania donovani
lipophosphoglycan, but found to recognize the tightly associated LPGAP. KMP-11 is found in a wide variety of Kinetoplastid parasites including African trypanosomes, Leishmania
