Introduction | The Tetanus Toxoid (TT) is a version of the tetanus toxin (tetanospasmin, TeNT, or TTx) used in vaccination programmes. The toxoid is typically purified from Clostridium tetani cultures and treated with formaldehyde (methanal) to inactivate it. Once purified, it can be administered as a vaccine, either on its own (such as in a tetanus “booster shot”), or with other elements (typically diphtheria toxoid and pertussis extracts). Like many vaccines, administration of the tetanus toxoid can cause localised inflammation and potentially fevers. Serious adverse effects include neuropathy and allergic reactions, which occur in less than 0.001% of cases. |
Target | Anti-Tetanus Toxoid IgG (TT IgG) |
Reactivity | Mouse |
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. |
