Anti-Mycobacterim avium Mouse Monoclonal Antibody – Library Pack (181101)

Mycobacteria are small, slow-growing, aerobic bacilli. They are distinguished by a complex, lipid- rich cell envelope responsible for their characterization as acid-fast (i.e. resistant to decolorization by acid after staining with carbolfuchsin) and their relative resistance to Gram stain. The most common mycobacterial infection is tuberculosis; others include leprosy and various diseases caused by Mycobacterium avium complex. The term Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) refers to two species: M. avium and M. intracellulare. Because these species are difficult to differentiate, they are also collectively referred to as Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MAI). MAC primarily affects individuals who are immune compromised (e.g., from AIDS, hairy cell leukemia, immunosuppressive chemotherapy).

Cell extract of M. avium obtained from the National Veterinary Services Laboratories, Ames, Iowa.
