Chimeric Chagas Multiantigen Recombinant Protein

Description: Recombinant Chimeric Chagas Multiantigen (MACH) (Trypanosoma cruzi) produced in E Coli, is a polypeptide chain of 87 a.a. with epitopes PEP-2, TcD, TcE and SAPA. The protein is fused to a 6-His tag and having an Mw of 9.9kDa.

Introduction: Trypanosoma cruzi, better known as T. cruzi, is a deadly parasite that causes Chagas' disease. This disease is a chronic infection, which primarily affects the heart and nervous system, causing severe neurological disorders, as well as swelling or denervation of nervous tissue in the heart, colon and esophagus. Chagas' disease often goes unidentified due to close association of symptoms to heart disease and a variety of other disorders. The organism can circulate in the blood of infected patients for many years after infection, and can lead to transfusion-acquired infections in blood recipients from these infected donors. Contaminated blood transfusions are suspected to be the primary way in which the parasite has been transmitted to industrialized countries.

Small volumes of Chimeric Chagas Multiantigen 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.

MBS143830 is a recombinant protein targeting Chimeric Chagas Multiantigen. Also known as Recombinant Chimeric Chagas Multiantigen.
