Recombinant Chlamydia Pneumonia ompA protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: ompA-31C
• Product Overview: Recombinant Chlamydia pneumonia antigen, produced in E.coli is derived from VD2-VD3 region of the CP major outer membrane protein (this region is recognized only by Chlamydia pneumonia antibody), it contains 160 amino acids and fused with a His Tag at C-terminus, having a MW of about 21.5kDa, the protein forms a monomer and a dimer on SDS-PAGE gel,the majority of the protein forms a dimer, which migrates at a MW of 42kDa. Chlamydia pneumonia is purified by proprietary chromatographic technique.

Specification

• Description: Chlamydia pneumoniae, a human pathogen causing respiratory infections and most likely contributing to the development of atherosclerosis and heart disease, is an obligate intracellular parasite which for replication needs to productively interact with and enter human cells. A specific region of a major outer membrane protein (MOMP), C. pneumonia is only recognized by C. pneumonia positive sera, and is used as an antigen for detection of IgG and IgM to Chlamydia pneumonia.

Q&As

In what ways does OMPA protein contribute to the formation of biofilms in bacterial infections?

OMPA is involved in the formation of biofilms, which are organized bacterial communities that can enhance the bacteria's resistance to antibiotics.

How does OMPA protein influence the immune response during bacterial infections?

OMPA can stimulate the immune system, leading to the production of antibodies and the activation of immune cells to combat bacterial infections.

Are there any challenges associated with targeting OMPA protein for therapeutic interventions?

Challenges include potential variations in OMPA sequences among bacterial strains and the need to address safety concerns in vaccine development.

How does the study of OMPA protein contribute to our understanding of bacterial pathogenesis?

Investigating OMPA protein provides insights into the mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis, aiding in the development of strategies to combat infections.

Are there any diagnostic uses for OMPA protein in identifying bacterial infections?

OMPA protein can be used in diagnostic assays to detect the presence of specific bacterial strains and aid in the diagnosis of infections.
