CDX-2 is a caudal-related homeobox transcription factor that is expressed by intestinal epithelial cells. CDX-2 is a useful marker for gastrointestinal carcinoma, and for determining the origin of gastrointestinal metastatic adenocarcinoma and carcinoids. Anti-CDX-2 is used for differentiating lung and metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma, however mucinous ovarian carcinoma also react positively with Anti-CDX-2, thereby limiting the ability to differentiate from metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma.
Used for the selective isolation and culture of Listeria monocytogenes.
Principle and Interpretation
Columbia Blood Agar Base provide carbon and nitrogen sources, vitamins and growth factors，maintains balanced osmotic pressure; Listeria hydrolyzes aesculin and reacts with iron ions to form black 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin; lithium chloride and other antibiotics can inhibit Gram-negative bacteria and most Gram-positive bacteria; agar is the coagulant of the culture medium.

Storage and Shelf Life
2-30℃，Keep container tightly closed, avoid direct sunlight.
Use before expiry date on the label.
Precautions
1. When weighing the dehydrated medium, please wear masks to avoid causing respiratory system discomfort
2. Keep container tightly closed after using to prevent clumping.
Waste Disposal
