Characterization and application of a Listeria monocytogenes reactive monoclonal antibody C11E9 in a resonant mirror biosensor.

Typical detection of Listeria monocytogenes involves selective enrichment, isolation and biochemical testing. Development of antibodies to Listeria species has improved detection; however, most antibodies detect all species of Listeria. A previously developed monoclonal antibody (MAb)-C11E9 was examined for its reaction to 13 L.
