Cat.No.
TPP17-276T
Species
Treponema pallidum
Product Name
Recombinant Treponema pallidum TPP17 protein, β-gal-tagged
Product Overview
The E.Coli derived recombinant protein contains the T. Pallidum p17 immunodominant regions. The protein contains beta- galactosidase (114kDa) fused at the N- terminus.
Description
Treponema pallidum is a gram-negative spirochaete bacterium and is considered to be metabolically crippled. There are at least four known subspecies: T. pallidum pallidum, T. pallidum pertenue, T. pallidum carateum and T. pallidum endemicum. The helical structure of T. pallidum pallidum allows it to move in a corkscrew motion through viscous mediums such as mucus. Treponema pallidum sub sp. pallidum has one of the smallest bacterial genomes at 1.14 million base pairs (Mb) and has limited metabolic capabilities, reflecting its adaptation through genome reduction to the rich environment of mammalian tissue.
