Molecular Weight
31.0 kDa
Alternative Names
Enterotoxin type A; SEA; entA
Purity
> 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE
Format
Liquid or Lyophilized powder
Concentration
Batch dependent - please inquire should you have specific requirements.
Buffer
If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose.
Storage
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for mutiple use. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself.
Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Introduction
Staphylococcus aureus Enterotoxin Type A (SEA) is a potent heat-stable exotoxin produced by strains of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. It belongs to the staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) family and is a major cause of staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) worldwide. SEA is classified as a superantigen due to its unique ability to trigger massive, non-specific activation of T-cells, leading to severe immune responses.
