Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria that lack a cell wall around their cell membrane. Without a cell wall, they are unaffected by many common antibiotics such as penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis
They can be parasitic or saprotrophic
Several species are pathogenic in humans, including M
pneumoniae, which is an important cause of atypical pneumonia and other respiratory disorders, and M
genitalium, which is believed to be involved in pelvic inflammatory diseases. Mycoplasma species are the smallest bacterial cells yet discovered, can survive without oxygen, and come in various shapes
For example, M
genitalium is flask-shaped (about 300 x 600 nm), while M
pneumoniae is more elongated (about 100 x 1000 nm)
Hundreds of mycoplasmas infect animals
Properties
If you buy Antibodies supplied by bioassay they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.E05 478 566 350 170 or Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays,E05 478 566 350 170 or Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays,Human proteins, cDNA and human recombinants are used in human reactive ELISA kits and to produce anti-human mono and polyclonal antibodies
Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens)
Depending on the epitopes used human ELISA kits can be cross reactive to many other species
Mainly analyzed are human serum, plasma, urine, saliva, human cell culture supernatants and biological samples.
