| Description: | This MAb is specific for a non-flagellar antigen of both C. jejuni Types 1 and 2. It reacts with a soluble excreted antigen in EIA. This determinant is unaffected by frozen storage of specimens, unlike antibodies to flagellar antigens which require fresh cultured organisms. Campylobacter jejuni is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic, slender, flagellate, spiral bacterium. It is the major reported cause of bacterial foodborne infection in the United States and is also associated with Guillian-Barre syndrome. Campylobacteriosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Campylobacter. The Campylobacter organism is actually a group of spiral shaped bacteria that can cause disease in humans and animals. Most human illness is caused by one species, called Campylobacter jejuni, but 1% of human Campylobacter cases are caused by other species.This antibody is available purified with BSA/azide at 200 ug/mL, or BSA/azide-free at 1 mg/mL. |
