Description

Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

The PA1-73011 antibody reacts with Streptococcus pneumoniae. PA1-73011 has been successfully used in immunofluorescence applications. The PA1-73011 antibody was raised against a Streptotcoccus serotype whole-cell blend (types 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 19 & 23). For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20 °C, in the dark.

There are more than 85 antigenic types of S. pneumoniae, which are determined by capsule antigens. Altough S. pneumoniae is part of the normal respiratory flora, invasion commonly results in pneumonia as well as meningitis. S. pneumoniae is protected from phagocytosis by its polysaccharide capsule which is also a prominent virulence factor. Infections can usually be treated with antibiotics, although resistant strains are emerging.
