Molecular Weight
27.1 kDa
Alternative Names
Enterotoxin type H; SHE; entH; she
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 H (SEH) belongs to the Group III enterotoxins (alongside SEA and SED) and exhibits potent emetic activity, causing acute gastroenteritis upon ingestion of contaminated foods (≥0.5 ng/g). SEH functions by binding directly to MHC class II molecules and specific T-cell receptor Vβ regions, triggering massive cytokine release (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6) that can lead to toxic shock syndrome or food poisoning. Notably, SEH is highly heat-stable and resistant to proteases, allowing persistence in dairy and ready-to-eat foods. It is epidemiologically significant in outbreaks.
