HIV-1 gp120 MN Envelope Recombinant
HIV-1 gp120 MN 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. The gp120MN is dual tropic meaning it binds to CCR5 and X4. Purified under conditions that maintain the tetriatary structure of the molecule.
Accession Number: M17449
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 HIV-1 gp120 protein solution contains 30mM Tris, pH-7.6, 150mM NaCl and 0.01% Triton N101.
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
Recombinant HIV -1 gp120 MN although stable at 4°C for 3 weeks, should be stored below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
