84-1064-55　Cryptosporidium parvum (FITC) 1ml　C7944-16A

特徴

• Members of the genus Cryptosporidium are parasites of the intestinal tracts of fishes, reptiles, birds and mammals.
• It seems that members of this genus do not display a high degree of host specificity, so the number of species in this genus remains a matter of some discussion.
• Cryptosporidium isolated from humans is now referred to as C.
• parvum.
• Cryptosporidium infections have been reported from a variety of wild and domesticated animals.
• Cryptosporidiosis is now recognized as an important opportunisitic infection, especially in immunocompromised hosts.
• Cryptosporidium is a small protozoan parasite, measuring about 3-5 µm.
• It lives on (or just under) the surface of the cells lining the small intestine, reproduces asexually, and oocysts are passed in the feces.
• Transmission of the infection occurs via the oocysts.
• Many human infections have been traced to the contamination of drinking water with oocysts from agricultural "run-off" (i.e., drainage from pastures), so it is considered a zoonosis.
• The most common symptom of cryptosporidiosis is watery diarrhea; other symptoms include stomach cramps or pain, fever, nausea and vomiting.
• In persons with healthy immune systems, symptoms usually last about 1 to 2 weeks.
• Applications:Suitable for use in FLISA and Immunofluorescence.
• Other applications not tested.
• Recommended Dilution:Immunofluorescence: 1:10-1:50.
• Acetone fixation of the antigen source is recommended prior to staining.
• Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
• Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
• For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20°C.
• Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C.
• For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
• Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
• FITC conjugates are sensitive to light.
