HepatitisE VirusORF3(Recombinant)

Recombinant Hepatitis E Virus Open Reading Frame 2 (ORF2)

Source: E.coli

Background: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major human pathogen in much of the developing world. It is a plus-strand RNA virus with a 7.2-kb polyadenylated genome consisting of three open reading frames, ORF1, ORF2, and ORF3. Of these, ORF2 encodes the major capsid protein of the virus and ORF3 encodes a small protein of unknown function.

Description: The protein contains immunodominant HEV ORF2 fragment, amino acids: (92-123). Hepatitis E Virus proteins are purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Purification method: Purified on Sepharose® by proprietary chromatographic technique.

Purity: Recombinant HEV is >95% pure as determined by 10% PAGE (coomassie staining) and RP-HPLC.

Formulation: 1mg/ml in 25mM Tris-HCl, 1mM EDTA, 0.5M urea, 50% glycerol.

Storage: Recombinant HEV is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon arrival, Store at -20C.

Stability: Recombinant HEV is stable 5 years frozen, One month in solution at room temperature.

Specificity: Immunoreactive with sera of HEV-infected individuals

Application: Recombinant HEV Antigen may be used in ELISA and Western blots, excellent for detection of HEV with minimal specificity problems.

Usage: BioWORLD's products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals.
