Form:Supplied as a liquid. No preservatives added.
Specificity:Recognizes the three-dimensional polymer complex structure of PG. The epitopes appear to consist of discontinuous glycan and/or amino acid residues and have not been fully defined. In a competitive immunoassay format, several compounds were found to be ineffective as inhibitors: muramyldipeptide, N-acetylglucosamine (NAG), chitin (polymer of NAG) and acid-hydrolyzed chitin (NAG oligomers).
