Mycobacterium Avium Antibody – Mouse Monoclonal

Mycobacteria are small, slow-growing, aerobic bacilli. They are distinguished by a complex, lipidrich cell envelope responsible for their characterization as acid-fast (ie, resistant to decolorization by acid after staining with carbolfuchsin) and their relative resistance to Gram stain. The most common mycobacterial infection is tuberculosis; others include leprosy and various diseases caused by Mycobacterium avium complex. The term Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) refers to two species: M avium and M intracellulare. Because these species are difficult to differentiate, they are also collectively referred to as Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MAI). MAC primarily affects individuals who are immune compromised (eg, from AIDS, hairy cell leukemia, immunosuppressive chemotherapy).

Small volumes of anti-Mycobacterium avium antibody 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.
