The E. Coli derived recombinant mosaic protein contains the gp21 and gp46 immunodominant regions, 374-400 amino acids and 190-207 amino acids, the MW is 42kDa. The protein is fused with GST at N-terminus.
Applications
HTLV-1 Mosaic can be used as an antigen in ELISA and Western Blots. Excellent reagent for correct detection of HTLV infections, with minimal specificity problems.
Formulation
60mM NaCl, 50mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 0.25% Sarkosil, 50% glycerol and 10mM glutathione.
Purification Method
HTLV-1 Mosaic was purified by proprietary chromatographic technique.
Purity
HTLV-1 Mosaic protein is >95% pure as determined by 10% PAGE (coomassie staining) and RP-HPLC.
Specificity
Immunoreactive with all sera of HTLV-I and HTLV-II infected individuals with antibody response to HTLV envelope.
Storage
HTLV-1 Mosaic although stable at 4°C for 1 week, should be stored below -18°C. Please prevent freeze thaw cycles.
