Research Antibiotics, Zymosan A, 1 gram

Zymosan A, 1 gram. Zymosan A is a polysaccharide compound found on the surface of various fungi. Zymosan A has been found to bind to TLR2, a surface membrane receptor responsible for recognizing bacterial, viral, and fungal substances. Zymosan A is insoluble in water.

• 100 µL - Mycoplasma primer mix
• 100 µL - Mycoplasma positive control
• 1.25 mL - 2X PCR Taq Mastermix
• 1.00 mL - ddH20

Description

• Family: Cell Culture
• CAS Number: 58856-93-2
• Molecular Formula: (C₆H₁₀O₅)_x
• Molecular Weight: Variable
• Mechanism of Action: Zymosan A binds to and stimulates TLR2 (Toll-like receptor 2), a surface protein responsible for recognizing foreign substances such as cell wall components in pathogenic bacteria. Upon stimulation, TLR2 initiates a signaling cascade which eventually leads to specific immune responses.
• Storage Conditions: 2-8°C
• Tariff Code: 2938.90.0000

Applications

Zymosan A can be used to study cytokine secretion and other immunologic properties in macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs).
