Description: The E. coli derived recombinant protein contains the outer membrane T.Pallidum p41 immunodominant regions. The protein is fused with a GST-tag. 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.
GST Tag
Specificity: Immunoreactive with sera of T. pallidum infected individuals.
Treponema Pallidum protein is suitable for ELISA and Western blots, excellent antigen for detection of T. Pallidum with minimal specificity problems.
