Ureaplasma urealyticum Antibody (6524): sc-58207

Ureaplasma urealyticum Antibody (6524) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Ureaplasma urealyticum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Ureaplasma urealyticum is a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the Mycoplasmataceae family, commonly found in the normal genital flora of humans, but can also inhabit the oropharynx and anal canal. This organism performs urea hydrolysis, a critical function allowing survival in urea-rich environments, such as the human urogenital tract. Ureaplasma urealyticum shows significant pathogenic potential, associating with various diseases, including nonspecific urethritis, chorioamnionitis, and complications during pregnancy such as stillbirth and premature birth. Infections caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum can lead to reduced zinc and selenium levels in seminal fluid, adversely affecting sperm quality and fertility. Ureaplasma urealyticum also interacts with mannose-binding lectin (MBL), indicating that MBL absence may increase susceptibility to diseases linked to this pathogen. Anti-Ureaplasma urealyticum antibody (6524) serves as an essential tool for researchers studying the implications of this bacterium in human health and disease.

The preferred Ureaplasma urealyticum antibody is Ureaplasma urealyticum Antibody (6526): sc-58208.
