Mycobacterium avium Antibody (102): sc-57924

Mycobacterium avium Antibody (102) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Mycobacterium avium with non-specific species reactivity by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Mycobacterium avium monoclonal antibody (102) aids in studying this member of the Mycobacterium genus, known for its unique and complex cell wall structure that is significantly thicker than most bacteria. This distinctive structure is primarily composed of mycolic acids, which contribute to the bacterium′s remarkable resilience against environmental stressors and antibiotics. The presence of these mycolic acids enhances the bacterium′s ability to survive in harsh conditions, such as exposure to detergents and oxidative stress, and plays a crucial role in its pathogenicity. Understanding the structure of Mycobacterium avium is vital, as this knowledge informs the development of targeted therapies and diagnostic tools, particularly for infections that can arise in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with AIDS. Mycobacterium avium is commonly found in the environment and can lead to serious pulmonary infections in humans, making the study of its structure and function essential for public health. Mycobacterium avium (102) antibody serves as an invaluable tool for researchers exploring the complexities of this pathogen and its interactions within host systems.

The preferred Mycobacterium avium antibody is Mycobacterium avium Antibody (103): sc-66066.
