Melamine [BSA]

Melamine, BSAconjugate DAG4476 chemosynthetic Lot. No. (See product label) PRODUCT INFORMATION Product overview Melamine, BSAconjugate Description The melamine and BSA (bovine serum albumin) (10 mg each) are conjugated by EDC method in 0.1 M MES pH 5.0. One or more of the three amine groups in the melamine are directly linked to carboxyl group(s) in the BSA without any linker by EDC conjugation meth Species chemosynthetic Conjugate BSA Applications The melamine, BSAconjugate has been shown to be recognized by melaminespecific antibodies by ELISA and lateral flow based immunoassay, respectively. Usage Used as capture antigen for the detection of antimelamine antibodies and as immunogen for the generation of melamine antibodies. Notes for research use only PACKAGING Storage Keep below 20°C for up to 1 year. Avoid repeated freezeandthaw. For short term storage (< 3 weeks) keep at 4°C. Concentration 2.0 mg/ml Buffer BSA(in 20 mM PBS, pH 7.4) BACKGROUND Introduction Melamine is an organic base and a trimer of cyanamide, with a 1,3,5triazine skeleton. Like cyanamide, it contains 67% nitrogen by mass and, if mixed with resins, has fire retardant properties due to its release of nitrogen gas when burned or charred, and has several other industrial uses. Melamine is also a metabolite of cyromazine, a pesticide. It is formed in the body of mammals who have ingested cyromazine. It has been reported that cyromazine can also be converted to melamine in plants. Melamine combines with cyanuric acid and related compounds to form melamine cyanurate and related crystal structures, which have been implicated as contaminants or biomarkers in Chinese protein adulterations.
