Treponema Pallidum P17 Recombinant Protein

Description: The E Coli derived recombinant protein contains the T. Pallidum p17 immunodominant regions. The protein contains beta- galactosidase (114 kDa) fused at the N- terminus.

Introduction: Treponema pallidum is a gram-negative spirochaete bacterium and is considered to be metabolically crippled. There are at least four known subspecies: T. pallidum pallidum, T. pallidum pertenue, T. pallidum carateum and T. pallidum endemicum. The helical structure of T. pallidum pallidum allows it to move in a corkscrew motion through viscous mediums such as mucus. Treponema pallidum sub sp. pallidum has one of the smallest bacterial genomes at 1.14 million base pairs (Mb) and has limited metabolic capabilities, reflecting its adaptation through genome reduction to the rich environment of mammalian tissue.

Small volumes of Treponema pallidum p17 recombinant protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS143162 is a recombinant protein targeting Treponema pallidum p17. Also known as Recombinant Treponema pallidum p17.
