Recombinant Zika Virus Envelope Protein

Root Catalog/Products/Recombinant Proteins

Dry Ice

Suitable for use in ELISA, CLIA and Lateral Flow Assays. To overcome flavivirus cross-reactivity in diagnostics, recombinant antigens to envelope and NS1 antigens are commonly used. IgG and IgM antibodies typically show a high sensitivity and specificity to these epitopes especially NS1 which is thought to contain more species-specific epitopes than the envelope proteins. Each laboratory should determine an optimum working titer for use in its particular application. Other applications have not been tested but use in such assays should not necessarily be excluded.

Liquid. PBS (pH 7.4) with 0.09% Sodium Azide

The E protein composes the majority of the virion surface and it is involved with replication, such as host cell binding and membrane fusion. Covers the ectodomain of the envelope proteins. The sequence of the envelope protein is derived from the African strain (all strains share very high identity in this region).

Purified

Varies by lot. See vial for concentration.
