Recombinant Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 2 Gp36, His-tagged

Suitable, for use in ELISA and Western blot. 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.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus Glycoprotein 36

Human, immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a member of the retrovirus, family) that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition in, humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows, life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive. Infection, with HIV occurs by the transfer of blood, semen, vaginal fluid, pre-ejaculate, or breast milk. Within these bodily fluids, HIV is present as, both free virus particles and virus within infected immune cells. The four, major routes of transmission are unsafe sex, contaminated needles, breast, milk, and transmission from an infected mother to her baby at birth, (perinatal transmission). Screening of blood products for HIV has largely, eliminated transmission through blood transfusions or infected blood products, in the developed world.
