West Nile Envelope Virus (WNV) Recombinant Protein

Description: The E Coli derived recombinant protein contains the West-Nile N-terminus Envelope Virus immunodominant regions. The protein is fused with 6xHis tag. Mw~42kDa.

Introduction: West Nile virus (WNV) is a virus of the family Flaviviridae part of the Japanese encephalitis (JE) antigenic complex of viruses. Image reconstructions and cryoelectron microscopyreveal a 45-50 nm virion covered with a relatively smooth proteinsurface. This structure is similar to virus; both belong to the genus flavivirus within the family Flaviviridae. WNV is a positive-sense, single strand of RNA, it is between 11,000 and 12,000 nucleotides long which encode seven non-structural proteins and three structural proteins. The RNA strand is held within a nucleocapsid formed from 12 kDaprotein blocks; the capsid is contained within a host-derived membrane altered by two viral glycoproteins.

Small volumes of WNV 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.

MBS143171 is a recombinant protein targeting WNV. Also known as Recombinant West Nile Envelope WNV Envelope. Host: E.Coli.
