Description

Thrombospondin-Related Adhesive Protein, Protozoan is a specialized recombinant protein derived from protozoan sources, playing a critical role in cellular adhesion and host-pathogen interactions. This protein is essential for research and development in parasitology and vaccine development, offering a key tool for understanding infection mechanisms. It is primarily utilized by biotechnology firms, academic research institutions, and pharmaceutical companies focused on developing novel therapeutic and prophylactic interventions against protozoan diseases.

Application

• Parasitology Research: Fundamental studies on the adhesion and invasion mechanisms of protozoan parasites like Plasmodium and Toxoplasma.
• Vaccine Antigen Development: Serves as a target antigen in the research and pre-clinical development of vaccines against malaria and other parasitic infections.
• Diagnostic Reagent Production: Used in the development and calibration of immunoassays (ELISA, Western Blot) for detecting parasitic infections.
• Host-Pathogen Interaction Studies: Investigation of protein-protein interactions between parasite surface proteins and host cell receptors.
• Drug Discovery Screening: Target protein in high-throughput screening assays to identify potential inhibitors of parasitic adhesion and infection.
• Biomaterial and Biosensor Functionalization: Potential use in coating surfaces for studying specific cellular binding events in controlled environments.

Quality Control

Our recombinant protein products are manufactured under stringent quality systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including SDS-PAGE for purity assessment, Western Blot for immunoreactivity confirmation, and endotoxin level analysis to ensure suitability for cell-based applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, concentration, and biological activity are provided with every shipment to guarantee consistent performance and research reproducibility.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized material at -20°C or below. Reconstituted protein aliquots should be stored at -70°C to -80°C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, protect the lyophilized powder from exposure to humid environments during handling.
