Mycobacterium tuberculosis
This antibody consists of the purified IgG fraction and reacts with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The emergence of new strains of resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis has created new interest in clinical diagnosis. Immunohistochemical staining of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues has been demonstrated. Studies have also shown immunohistochemical techniques to be superior to conventional special stains. Thus the demonstration of mycobacterial antigens are not only useful in establishing mycobacterial aetiology, but also can be used as an alternative method to the conventional Ziehl-Neelsen method. This antibody is reactive with other Mycobacteria species including: M. avium, M phlei, and M. parafortuitum. This antibody is not reactive with E. coli K12, Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus (group B), Candida albicans and Neisseria meningitides.
