Cytomegalo Virus Pp65 (CMV) Recombinant Protein

Description: The E Coli derived 52.2 kDa recombinant protein contains the CMV Pp65 (UL83) immunodominant regions, 297-510 amino acids. Recombinant CMV-Pp65 is fused to a 26 kDa GST tag.

Introduction: CMV belongs to the Betaherpesvirinae subfamily of Herpesviridae which includes herpes simplex virustypes 1 and 2, varicella-zoster virus, and Epstein-Barrvirus. The herpesviruses share a characteristic ability to remain latentover long periods. CMV is a double-stranded linear DNA virus with 162 hexagonal protein capsomeres surrounded by a lipid membrane. CMV has the largest genome of the herpes viruses, ranging from 230-240 kilobase pairs. Human CMV is composed of unique and inverted repeats that include the existence of 4 genome isomers caused by inversion of L-S genome components (class E). Replication may be divided into immediate early, delayed early, and late gene expression based on time of synthesis after infection. The DNA is replicated by rolling circles. In vitro, CMV replicates in human fibroblasts.

Small volumes of CMV recombinant protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS142074 is a recombinant protein targeting CMV. Also known as Recombinant Cytomegalo Virus Pp65(UL83). Host: E Coli.
