Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an antibody against Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) toxin produced by Staphylococcus aureus; a method and kit for detecting the toxin using the antibody; and a pharmaceutical composition including the antibody against PVL toxin for treating disorders caused by PVL toxin.SOLUTION: The antibody has binding ability to Panton-Valentine leukocidin F and does not indicate cross-reactivity with LukD and/or HlgB. So, the antibody has binding ability to Panton-Valentine leukocidin S and does not indicate cross-reactivity with at least one of LukE, HlgC and HlgA.
