AHP1670 recognises the enzyme Arylsulfatase A (ARSA), otherwise known as cerebroside-sulfatase, a member of the sulfatase family which hydrolyzes the conversion of cerebroside sulfate to cerebroside and sulphate.
A deficiency in ARSA levels is responsible for the lysosomal storage disease known as Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a fatal autosomal recessive trait characterized by an intralysosomal accumulation of cerebroside-3-sulfate, which also effects myelin membranes, resulting in progressive demyelination.

Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antiserum to ARSA was raised by repeated immunisation of goats with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
