The enzyme is a tetramer with a molecular weight of 465 000 g/mole (each subunit 116 000 g/mole). The free thiol groups on the enzyme surface are characterized and are 14 -18 mole/mole enzyme. The free thiol groups are useful for derivatisation of the enzyme.
This suspension used together with the EC whole cell antigen is for the detection and verification of antibodies against Encephalitozoon cuniculi (EC) in rabbit serum.
The kit is used to detect antibodies against Encephalitozoon cuniculi. The kit includes 2 coated 96-well microtiter plates and all reagents necessary to perform the analysis. Each plate provides 48 tests.
