Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ PA173115

Catalog No. PIPA173115

Description

The PA1-73115 antibody reacts with Bacillus species spores. The antiserum is unabsorbed and is expected to crossreact with various Bacillus species. PA1-73115 has been successfully used in immunofluorescence applications. The PA1-73115 antibody was raised against purified spores of B. cereus (ATCC #11778) + B. subtilis (ATCC #9372).

Bacillus is a genus of rod-shaped, Gram-positive bacteria and a member of the division Firmicutes. Bacillus species are either obligate or facultative aerobes, and test positive for the enzyme catalase. Bacillus includes both free-living (nonparasitic) and parasitic pathogenic species such as B. anthracis, which causes anthrax, and B. cereus, which causes food poisoning. Under stressful environmental conditions, the bacteria can produce oval endospores that allow them to remain in a dormant state for very long periods.
