Recombinant Varicella-zoster virus Glycoprotein E, GST-tagged

• Cat.No.: ORF68-02V
• Product Overview: RecombinantVaricella Zoster virusgEencodes the immunodominant sequences of the VZV Glycoprotein E. Recombinant VZV Glycoprotein E contains an N terminal GST purification tag.

Specification

• Species: VZV
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: GST
• Description: Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is an extremely cell-associated alpha herpesvirus. It interacts with cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans during virus attachment. VZV-gE is a glycoprotein that plays an active or supportive role in VZV cell membrane fusion. VZV-gE was found to enhance the fusogenic potential of VZV gB.
• Form: Lyophilized from 25mM Tris-Hcl pH 8.0, 1mM EDTA and 50% glycerol.
• Molecular Mass: This molecule has a calculated mass of approximately 11kDa. Approximately 37 kDa protein under non-reducing conditions and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.
• Purity: > 95 %
• Applications: VZV gE antigen is suitable for ELISA and Western blots, excellent antigen for detection of VZV with minimal specificity problems.
• Usage: This product is for research purposes only. It may not be used for therapeutics or diagnostic purposes.
• Storage: The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20 centigrade. Upon reconstitution, this protein can be stored in working aliquots at 2 centigrade- 8 centigrade for one month, or at -20 centigrade for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Reconstitution: A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
