HIV-2 Envelope Recombinant
HIV-2 Envelope recombinant- composes all of the reported immunogenic determinants found in gp39. The gene encoding this fusion protein was synthesized using codons optimized for E. coli expression and doesn??t represent a linear HIV-2 envelope sequence. HIV-2 is a non-glycosylated, 135 amino acids polypeptide chain, having a molecular mass of 16,127 Dalton, P. I=5.17.
Applications
HIV-2 Envelope antigen in ELISA and Western blots, excellent antigen for early detection of HIV seroconvertors with minimal specificity problems.
Formulation
50mM Tris-HCl and 6M urea, pH 7.2.
Physical Appearance
Sterile filtered colorless clear solution.
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by HPLC analysis and SDS-PAGE.
Source
Specificity
Immunoreactive with all sera of HIV-2 infected individuals.
