Introduction | Streptococcus pneumoniae is a spherical Gram positive bacterium that is a commensal organism on some people, but causes disease in others. When a host’s immune system is weakened in some way, the bacterium can infect the respiratory tract (particularly the alveoli), causing pneumonia. Various strains of Strep. pneumoniae exist, with many having resistance to one or more common antibiotics. Vaccines exist against the bacterium, however they only protect against the 23 most common serovars (out of a total of 90 known serovars). |
Target | Anti-Streptococcus pneumoniae IgG (Pneumococcus IgG) |
Reactivity | Human |
Tested Applications | ELISA |
Recommended dilutions | Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. |
Storage | Shipped at 4 °C. Upon receipt, store the kit according to the storage instruction in the kit's manual. |
Validity | The validity for this kit is 6 months. |
Stability | The stability of the kit is determined by the rate of activity loss. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage conditions. To minimize performance fluctuations, operation procedures and lab conditions should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same user throughout. |

Note | This product is for research use only. The range and sensitivity is subject to change. Please contact us for the latest product information. For accurate results, sample concentrations must be diluted to mid-range of the kit. If you require a specific range, please contact us in advance or write your request in your order comments. Please note that our ELISA and CLIA kits are optimised for detection of native samples, rather than recombinant proteins. We are unable to guarantee detection of recombinant proteins, as they may have different sequences or tertiary structures to the native protein. |
