Recombinant p17 HIV-1 Core Protein

Product Specifications: Item# 1005 : Recombinant p17 HIV-1 Core Protein  Concentration: See vial  Mass/vial: See vial  Volume/vial: 1ml  Diluent: MES Buffer, pH. 6.5   Purity: >95%  Stabilizer: None  Preservative: None  Storage: -75°C  Physical State: Frozen Liquid  Stability: At least 24 months at -75°C.  Application: ELISA, Western ELISA, Diagnostics  Description: Recombinant HIV-1 p17 is expressed as a Glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protien produced in the E.coli expression system.  Purification: This protein is purified by GST-agarose affinity chromotography and p17 is cleaved from the fusion protein by using Factor Xa. GST is removed from the mixture by a second passage through GST-agarose.  Specificity: This protein binds to HIV-1 positive human serum polyclonal antibodies in ELISA and Western ELISA.  Biological Activity: Recombinant p17 core protein contains authentic N and C termini which is normally processed from the sequence of the matrix antigen with relevant HIV
