Cat.No.
slo-001S
Species
Hemolytic streptococcus
Product Name
Recombinant Hemolytic streptococcus Streptolysin O
Product Overview
The product was highly purified from E.coli over-expressing SLO of Group C hemolytic streptococci.
Description
Streptolysin O (SLO) is a membrane-damaging extracellular toxin produced by hemolytic streptococci. The membrane-damaging activity is measured by hemolysis of red-blood cells. SLO is easily inactivated in the presence of oxygen but can be reactivated by thiol compounds, so it is also called thiol-activated cytolysin. SLO is produced not only by Group A hemolytic streptococci but also by Group C and Group G strains. The amino acid sequences are highly conserved among them and their homology is over 98%.
Source
E. coli
Form
1 mg/ml in PBS (-), 1 mM DTT, 50% glycerol, sterilized by filtration
Bio-activity
The specific activity is as high as 1,900,000 hemolytic units (HU) /mg and the product forms a big hole on the cell membrane, which enables the introduction of protein inside the cells in vivo.
