Patent ID: 7807791

Claim:
An antibody immunoreactive with a mutated EPSPS (5-enolpyruvyl-3-phosphoshikimic acid synthase) polypeptide, wherein said antibody is selected from the group consisting of: (a) an antibody immunoreactive with a mutated EPSPS polypeptide wherein said mutated EPSPS polypeptide when compared to a wild-type EPSPS polypeptide comprises a first mutation wherein an isoleucine amino acid is substituted for the amino acid which corresponds to residue 102 of said wild-type EPSPS polypeptide and a second mutation wherein a serine amino acid is substituted for the amino acid which corresponds to residue 106 of said wild-type EPSPS polypeptide; (b) an antibody immunoreactive with a mutated EPSPS polypeptide wherein said mutated EPSPS polypeptide when compared with SEQ ID NO: 2 comprises a first mutation wherein an isoleucine amino acid is substituted for the amino acid which corresponds to residue 102 of said SEQ ID NO: 2, and a second mutation wherein a serine amino acid is substituted for the amino acid which corresponds to residue 106 of said SEQ ID NO: 2; (c) an antibody immunoreactive with a polypeptide comprising the polypeptide encoded by SEQ ID NO: 5; (d) an antibody immunoreactive with a polypeptide comprising SEQ ID NO: 3; (e) an antibody immunoreactive with a polypeptide comprising SEQ ID NO: 6; (f) an antibody produced by a hybridoma selected from the group consisting of 10B5.B4 assigned ATCC Number PTA-8900, 10B9.E8 assigned ATCC number PTA-8901, 12H1.B1 assigned ATCC number 8902, and 5E11.E11 assigned ATCC number PTA-8903; and (g) a fragment of an antibody of (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) wherein said fragment is immunoreactive with a mutated EPSPS polypeptide selected from the group consisting of the polypeptides of (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e).
