SARS Associated Spike Mosaic S(N) (Recombinant)

Recombinant SARS-Associated Coronavirus Spike mosaic S(N)

Source: E.Coli

Background: The spike (S) glycoprotein of coronaviruses mediates viral entry into host cells.Spike (S)-glycoprotein of the virus interacts with a cellular receptor and mediates membrane fusion to allow viral entry into susceptible target cells. It is a type 1 viral fusion protein that characteristically contains two heptad repeat regions, denoted HR-N and HR-C, that form coiled-coil structures within the ectodomain of the protein. Previous studies have shown that the two heptad repeat regions can undergo a conformational change from their native state to a 6-helix bundle (trimer of dimers), which mediates fusion of viral and host cell membranes

Description: SARS-ACSM contains the middle section of the Spike protein immunodominant regions, amino acid fragments: (12-53), (90-115), (171-203) SARS-ACSM is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Purification method: Purified by proprietary chromatographic technique.

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

Formulation: 1mg/ml in 50 mM Tris-HCl, 60 mM NaCl and 50% glycerol

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