Lyophilized from 50 mM Na acetate, pH 6.0 with 100 mM NaCl

Lysozyme occurs in specific granules of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes and takes part in the antibacterial activity of the leukocytes. It hydrolyzes beta-1,4 links between N-acetylmuramic acid or 2-acetamido-2deoxy-D-glucose residues in mucopolysacchride, mucopolypeptide or chitin.

Activity: 30,000 Shugar units per mg. One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that digest powdered cells of Micrococcus lysodeikticus, causing a decrease in absorbancy of 0.001 per minute at 37oC , pH 7.0.

Storage: -20°C

Purity: >= 95% by SDS-PAGE.

Prepared from whole blood shown to be non reactive for HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HBc, and negative for anti-HIV 1 & 2 by FDA-required tests.
