Recombinant Monkeypox Virus A29L Protein, His-tagged(C-ter)

• Cat.No.: OPG154-262M
• Product Overview: Recombinant Monkeypox Virus A29L Protein with His tag (C-ter) was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: MPX
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Description: Monkeypox virus (MPV, MPXV, or hMPXV) is a species of double-stranded DNA virus which causes monkeypox in humans and other animals. It belongs to the genus Orthopoxvirus in the family Poxviridae. Monkeypox virus is one of the human orthopoxvirus along with variola (VARV), cowpox (CPX), and vaccinia (VACV) viruses. It is not a direct ancestor to, nor a direct descendant of, the variola virus, which causes smallpox. Monkeypox is similar to smallpox, but with a milder rash and lower mortality rate. Variation in virulence of the virus has been observed in isolates from Central Africa, where strains are more virulent than those from Western Africa.The two areas have distinct clades of the virus, termed Congo Basin (Central African) and West African clades.
• Form: Powder
• Endotoxin: Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 EU/μg of the protein, as determined by the LAL test.
• Purity: > 95% (by SDS-PAGE)
• Applications: SDS-PAGE
• Notes: For laboratory research only, not for drug, diagnostic or other use.
• Storage: Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -20°C or -80°C for up to one month. Storage in frost free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Suggest spin the vial prior to opening.
• Storage Buffer: PBS (pH 7.4)
• Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile water to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min at room temperature to make sure the protein is dissolved completely.
