Description

Major Outer Membrane Protein, Legionella Pneumophila is a purified protein antigen derived from the outer membrane of the *Legionella pneumophila* bacterium. This high-purity biological reagent is critical for research, diagnostic development, and vaccine studies targeting Legionnaires' disease. It is primarily utilized by biotechnology firms, diagnostic manufacturers, and academic research institutions engaged in immunology and infectious disease research.

Application

• Diagnostic Kit Development: As a key antigen for the production of ELISA, lateral flow assays, and other immunoassays to detect *Legionella pneumophila* antibodies.
• Vaccine Research: Serving as a candidate antigen in preclinical studies for vaccine development against Legionnaires' disease.
• Immunological Studies: Used to investigate host immune response, antibody specificity, and pathogenesis of *Legionella* infections.
• Reference Standard: Acting as a purified standard for quality control and calibration in diagnostic manufacturing and research laboratories.
• Antibody Production: Immunogen for generating monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies specific to *Legionella pneumophila*.

Quality Control

Our Major Outer Membrane Protein, Legionella Pneumophila is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure identity, purity, and biological activity, meeting the exacting standards required for diagnostic and research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (by HPLC), protein concentration, endotoxin levels, and identity confirmation are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized material at -20°C or below. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -70°C to -80°C to prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive).
