Introduction | Plasmodium falciparum is a protozoal parasite that causes the form of malaria that is both the most common and the most dangerous. The disease occurs most often in Central and Western Africa, to the extent that various forms of genetic anaemias and thalassaemias (including sickle-cell trait) are selected for in the region due to the increased protection they provide against the parasite. The parasite reproduces in human liver and red blood cells, and then destroys these to escape, causing thrombosis and progressive liver damage. P. falciparum infection is associated with an increased likelihood of developing Burkitt’s lymphoma. Infections are treated using chloroquine and other quinine derivatives, and prevented by the eradication of the Anopheles mosquito vectors and the use of prophylactic drugs. |
Target | Plasmodium falciparum Merozoite Surface Protein 1 (MSP1) |
Reactivity | Protozoan |
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. NOT FOR USE IN DIAGNOSTIC OR THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES. Please note that our 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. |
