Description

Store vial at 4°C prior to restoration. For extended storage aliquot contents and freeze at -20°C or below. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. This antibody is specific for Borrelia burgdorferi OspC protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with p39 from B. burgdorferi, afzelii, and valaisiana sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Partial reactivity is expected against B. japonica and americana sources based on 94% homology. Cross-reactivity with OspC from other sources has not been determined.

Outer Surface Protein C, or OspC, is a 20.7 kDa immunogenic protein on the outer surface of the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Its function is not known, but it is located with lipid-anchoring sites on the outer cell membrane.
