Description: Lysozyme is an enzyme, commonly referred to as the bodys own antibiotic since it kills bacteria. Natural substrate of lysozyme c is the bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan (cleaving the beta[1-4] glycosidic linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine). Lysozyme c is one of the antimicrobial agents found in human milk, and is also present in spleen, lung, kidney, white blood cells, plasma, saliva, and tears. The protein has antibacterial activity against a number of bacterial species. Lysozyme C is synthesized predominantly in reactive histiocytes rather than in resting, unstimulated phagocytes. This antibody labels myeloid cells, histiocytes, granulocytes, macrophages and monocytes. It is helpful in the identification of myeloid or monocytic nature of acute leukemia.
Immunogen: A portion of amino acids 18-147 was used as the immunogen for the LYZ antibody.
Storage: Aliquot the LYZ antibody and store frozen at -20 °C or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
