Shelf Life: 12 months
Purity: > 95 % (SDS-PAGE)
Form: liquid (Supplied in 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 1.5 M urea and 0,1 mM EDTA)
Applications:
Antigen in ELISA and Western blots, excellent antigen for detection of Toxoplasma gondii with minimal specificity problems.
Description:
The protein contains the Toxoplasma gondii MIC3 immunodominant regions, amino acids 234-306. The protein is purified by proprietary chromatographic technique.
Background: Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite that infects all warmblooded animals, including humans, and causes toxoplasmosis. The homodimeric micronemal protein MIC3, which is a potent adhesin molecule of T. gondii, could be a significant candidate vaccine against toxoplasmosis.
Specificity: Immunoreactive with sera of T. gondii- infected individuals.
