Extra Details:: Francisella tularensis is a small, nonmotile, aerobic, gram-negative coccobacillus. It has a thin lipopolysaccharide-containing envelope and is a hardy non–spore-forming organism that survives for weeks at low temperatures in water, moist soil, hay, straw, and decaying animal carcasses. Lipopolysaccaride (LPS) is a main species-specific antigen of Francisella tularensis. According to the data available LPS of tularemia microbe differs from LPS of other gram-negative bacteria. LPS of tularemia microbe hasn’t yet revealed the properties of classical endotoxin, which may be connected with non-typical structure of lipid A, a toxic component of LPS. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, Immunocytochemistry, Western Blot and ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
