Research AreaVirology

Specifications

FormFrozen Liquid
ConcentrationSupplied in phosphate buffered saline at a concentration of 0.520 mg/mL. ; Endotoxin: 30.213 Endotoxin units/mg
Recommended DilutionELISA: Assay-dependent dilution.

WB: Assay-dependent dilution
internal QC demonstrates detection of Hla protein using Taiclone's mouse anti-Alpha Toxin (6C12) monoclonal antibody (cat# tcia123) in Western blotting.

Cytotoxicity assay: The protein is active in functional lysis assays with rabbit red blood cells.

The protein can be also used in serology assay as coating antigen to detect antibodies against Hla.
Purity / GradeColumn chromatography (FPLC)

Misc Information

Storage Instruction2-3 weeks at -20°C, long term It is recommended to dispense single-use aliquots and store aliquots at -80°C to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles
RelevanceHla is produced by S. aureus and is a major cytotoxic agent. It is expressed as a monomer that binds to the membrane of susceptible cells. ; Subunits then oligomerize to form heptameric rings with a central pore through which cellular contents leak. The mode of action of S. aureus Hla is likely by osmotic lysis.
