Description
Data Sheet
| Description | Recombinant SIV p55- Strains: SIV mac 23g and SIV smH4 is glycosylated with N-linked sugars and produced using baculovirus vectors in insect cells. |
| Expression host | Baculovirus Insect Cells. |
| Formulation | SIV p55 Protein solution containing 10mM Tris, pH 8, 140mM NaCl & 400mM L-Arginine. |
| Protein Background | Simian immunodeficiency virus, SIV, is a retrovirusthat is found in strains, having the HIV-1and HIV-2specific strains that infect humans. SIV strains may cause an AIDS-like immune deficiency known as SAIDS (simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) if they cross species boundaries. HIV-2 is more similar to SIV strains than to HIV-1, suggesting for the first time the simian origin of HIV. HIV-2 is derived from the SIV strain found in sooty mangabeys whereas HIV-1, the predominant virus found in humans, is derived from SIV strains infecting chimpanzees. |
| Purity | Greater than 90.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability | Recombinant SIV p55 although stable at 4°C for 3 weeks, should be stored below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA). Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles. |
