Description
Accession
Q6QCM9
Source
DNA sequence encoding immunodominant fragment of Varicella Zoster virus ORF26 protein was expressed in Escherichia Coli.
Molecular weight
RecombinantVaricella Zoster virusORF26 encodes the immunodominant sequences of the VZV DNA packagig protein. This molecule has a calculated mass of approximately 7kDa. Recombinant VZV ORF26 contains an N terminal GST purification tag and migrates as an approximately 33 kDa protein under non-reducing conditions and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.
Purity
>95%, as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Applications
VZV ORF26 antigen is suitable for ELISA and Western blots, excellent antigen for detection of VZV with minimal specificity problems.
Presentation
Lyophilized from 25mM Tris-Hcl pH 8.0, 1mM EDTA and 50% glycerol.
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.
Storage
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20° C. Upon reconstitution, this protein can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8° C for one month, or at -20° C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
