| Purity | Treponema pallidum protein is >90% pure as determined by 10% PAGE (coomassie staining). |
| Applications | Treponema pallidum is suitable for ELISA and Western blots, excellent antigen for detection of T. Pallidum with minimal specificity problems. |
| Description | The E.coli derived recombinant protein contains the outer membrane T.Pallidum p41 immunodominant regions. The protein is fused with a Beta-galactosidase tag. |
| Protein Background | Treponema pallidum is a gram-negative spirochaete bacterium and is considered to be metabolically crippled. There are at least four known subspecies: T. pallidum pallidum, T. pallidum pertenue, T. pallidum carateum and T. pallidum endemicum. The helical structure of T. pallidum pallidum allows it to move in a corkscrew motion through viscous mediums such as mucus. Treponema pallidum sub sp. pallidum has one of the smallest bacterial genomes at 1.14 million base pairs (Mb) and has limited metabolic capabilities, reflecting its adaptation through genome reduction to the rich environment of mammalian tissue. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Purification Method | Treponema pallidum protein was purified by proprietary chromatographic technique. |
