Peptidoglycan, Streptococcus mutans (PG)

Peptidoglycan, Streptococcus mutans (PG)

• Storage Conditions: May be stored at 4 °C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 °C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
• 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).
