HIV-1 gp120 LAV Envelope Recombinant
HIV-1 gp120 LAV isolate Recombinant- is the external envelope protein, full-length 100-120 kDa, derived from the env. gene of HIV-1 and glycosylated with N-linked sugars and produced using baculovirus vectors in insect cells. Purified under conditions that maintain the tertiary structure of the biologically active molecule. HIV-1 gp120 LAV sequence is identical to the predicted amino acid sequence of gp120 from pNL4-3 (Adachi et al. [1986], J. Virol.59, 284-291; GenBank accession number M19921).
Accession Number: M19921

Applications
HIV-1 gp120 antigen is suitable for ELISA and Western blots, excellent antigen for early detection of HIV seroconvertors with minimal specificity problems.
Formulation
The protein solution contains 10mM Tris-Cl pH-7.6, 150mM NaCl and 0.01% Triton N-101.
Physical Appearance
Sterile filtered colorless clear solution.
Purity
Greater than 90.0% as determined by HPLC analysis and SDS-PAGE.
Source
Specificity
Immunoreactive with sera from HIV infected individuals. Western blots: 0.1-1.0 ug/strip.
Storage
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
