Abstract

Highlights: [•] A monoclonal antibody (LiD1mAb16) against a recombinant SMase D isoform was produced. [•] LiD1mAb16 was cross-reactive with protein spots from different Loxosceles species. [•] LiD1mAb16 recognizes a linear epitope in the catalytic loop of SMases D. [•] LiD1mAb16 showed neutralizing potential. [•] This mAb is a candidate for therapeutic serum development or immunodiagnostic assays. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
