ViroStat has released a new set of Monoclonal antibodies to M. pneumoniae that include 4 different antigen specificities. All antibodies function in ELISA, IFA and western blot immunoassay. These new antibody tools offer the potential for rapid antigen detection.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a bacterial pathogen that causes most atypical pneumonia. It is also the agent that causes the milder “walking pneumonia”. The bacterium is difficult to culture and thus alternative detection methods are sought.
To download the data sheet for these NEW Antibodies and to obtain pricing, go to the ViroStat website by following the Company article link top right of this page and Search "Mycoplasma pneumoniae".

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.ELISAEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), also known as enzyme immunoassays (EIA), are used for the detection and quantification of proteins, peptides and antibodies in a sample. ELISA often comes in kit format, with pre-selected antibody pairs to detect specific proteins or biomarkers of diseases such as diabetes and obesity, or cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Detection is made possible with chemiluminescent, fluorescent or colorimetric substrates and detection instruments such as microplate / ELISA readers. Other kits available include: Enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assays for the quantification of protein-producing cells and chemiluminescent immunoassays (CLIA) kits.

This can reveal information on protein or gene expression, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), copy number variation (CNV), epigenetics and patient health in clinical diagnostic tests.
