Extra Details:: Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens, formerly known as C. welchii, or Bacillus welchii) is a rod-shaped Gram-positive bacterium that is found in many environmental sources as well as in the intestines of humans and animals. Anaerobic, spore forming bacterium C. perfringens is distributed ubiquitously throughout the environment and is responsible for food poisoning, gastrointestinal disease, gas gangrene and related necrotic conditions (enteritis or enterotoxemia) in humans and other mammals. A commonly used toxin typing classification system assigns C. perfringens isolates to types A to E based upon their ability to produce four typing toxins (alpha, beta, epsilon and iota-toxins). Type A bacteria produce alpha toxin, type B bacteria produce alpha, beta, and epsilon toxins, type C bacteria produce alpha and beta toxins, type D bacteria produce alpha and epsilon toxins, and type E bacteria proteins produce alpha and iota toxins. C. perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) is the main virulent factor that initiates many critical GI diseases. C. perfringens types A-E variants are differentiated by their serological properties and specific toxins.. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: 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.
