Recombinant Treponema pallidum Tpp17 Antigen, His&GST tagged

• Cat.No.: Tpp17-057T
• Product Overview: The Tpp17 recombinant lipoprotein has been prepared by expressing the gene which codifies the mature lipoprotein of 17 kDa of the spirochete Treponema pallidum.

Specification

• Species: Treponema pallidum
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His&GST
• Description: Tpp17 is a 17 kDa protein from Treponema pallidum. It is an antigen with proven diagnostic relevance and one of the major immunogens for syphilis. This lipoprotein was identified initially by its strong reactivity with human syphilitic sera.
• Tag: N-His&GST
• Molecular Mass: Determined by SDS-PAGE, the protein band is at the molecular markers of 45 kDa, while relative molecular mass calculated from amino acid sequence is 46,649.6 Da.
• Purity: > 95% by observation on SDS-PAGE electrophoresis
• Applications: WB, DB, IE, DE, CLIA, LF
• Storage: Upon arrival, it should be aliquoted to avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles and stored at -20 to -80 centigrade. In order to defrost the protein, maintain the aliquot at 25 centigrade without shaking to avoid aggregation.
• Storage Buffer: 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8 and 10 mM Glutathione
• Concentration: 2.65 mg/mL
• Shipping: Protein is shipped with dry ice.
