- Extra Details:
- The life cycle of Chlamydia trachomatis consists of two stages: elementary body and reticulate body. The elementary body is the dispersal form, which is analogous to a spore. The dispersal form is about 0.3um in diameter and induces its own endocytosis upon exposure to target cells. It is this form that prevents phagolysosomal fusion, which then allows for intracellular survival of the bacteria. Once inside the endosome, the elementary body germinates into the reticulate body as a result of the glycogen that is produced. The reticulate body divides through binary fission at approximately 2-3 hours/generation. The cell body has an incubation period of 7-21 days in the host. It contains no cell wall and is detected as an inclusion in the cell. After division, the reticulate body transforms back to the elementary form and is released by the cell by exocytosis. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:204,800 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. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
