Cryptosporidium sp.

The genome of Cryptosporidium sp. is one of the smallest among unicellular eukaryotic organisms. Cryptosporidium is one of several species that cause cryptosporidiosis; a disease affecting the intestines of mammals which is spread through the fecal-oral route. The main symptom is self-limiting diarrhea in people with intact immune systems. However, in immunocompromised individuals, such as AIDS patients, infection can cause permanent & life-threatening diarrhoea. Cryptosporidiosis is one of the most common waterborne diseases worldwide.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA, Flow Cytometry and Immunofluorescence. Other applications not tested. \n\nRecommended Dilutions:\nELISA: 1:2000-1:8000\nImmunofluorescence: 1:50-1:200\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. \n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only.
