Product Info
Sulfo DBCO-TFP Ester is a water-soluble, amine-reactive labeling reagent that enables simple and efficient incorporation of Sulfo DBCO moiety onto amine-containing molecules. The hydrophilic, sulfonated spacer arm greatly improves water solubility of DBCO derivatized molecules, in many cases making them completely soluble in aqueous media. A short spacer arm adds minimal mass to modified molecules.

Okadaic Acid (OA) is a one of the diarrhetic shellfish poisons (DSP) produced by dinoflagellate genera Dinophysis and Prorocentrum. There are several chemically different toxins associated with DSP.
They are lipophilic and polyether compounds and can be divided into three main groups:
Acidic toxins
Neutral toxins
Other toxins 2 Contamination of shellfish with OA has been associated with harmful algae blooms throughout the world.
In humans, DSP causes dose-dependent symptoms of diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. The action levels established by the FDA for OA is 200ppb. The EU has established a level of 160 ppb of OA or its equivalent.
The Attogene Okadaic acid ELISA kit enables international and government regulatory agencies, food manufacturers and processors, as well as quality assurance organizations to detect OA in food, feed, fish, and environmental samples of concern.
Okadaic acid is the causative agent of Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP).

Competitive ELISA for the quantitative analysis of Okadaic Acid (DSP) Format: 96-well microtiter plate (12 test strips of 8 wells) Okadaic acid is a potent neurotoxin and phosphatase inhibitor from dinoflagellate black sponges that are associated with seafood poisonings.
The BK virus is a member of the polyomavirus family. It has been suggested that this virus may be transmitted through respiratory fluids or urine, since infected individuals periodically excrete virus in the urine. BK viral infections are typically asymptomatic in healthy individuals, however very mild symptoms may appear including mild respiratory infections and fever. Infections with BK virus in immunocompromised or immunosupressed patients are much more severe and may involve renal dysfunction. In fact, in kidney transplant patients the immunosupressive drugs required for the transplant may allow the virus to replicate within the graft, resulting in a disease called BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). The JC virus is a type of human polyomavirus and is very common in the general population, infecting 70 to 90% of humans. Most people acquire JCV in childhood or adolescence. Typically the infection is subclinical and no of consequence in individuals with healthy immune systems. The initial site of infection may be the tonsils or the gastrointestinal tract, and the virus then remains latent in the gastrointestinal tract. JCV can also infect the tubular epithelial cells in the kidneys, where it continues to reproduce, shedding virus particles in the urine. Also, JCV can cross the blood-brain barrier into the central nervous system. JCV is known to cause the usually fatal progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) by destroying oligodendrocytes in the brain in immunodeficient or immunosuppressed individuals. The JC and BK viruses are very similar, with their genomes sharing 75% homology. It is however important to differentiate between the viruses due to the differences in pathology and especially the invariably fatal outcome of PML which is only caused by the JC virus.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
