| 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. |
