Papillomavirus 18 (HPV 18) Human Recombinant Protein

Description: The Recombinant HPV-18 is a full length large capsid protein having a Mw of 56kDa expressed in E Coli and fused to a GST-Tag, having a total Mw of 83kDa, purified by standard chromatography.

Introduction: Human papillomavirus family consist of over 200 types. Over than 30 to 40 types of HPV are transferred via sexual contact and infect the anogenital region initiating genital warts. Persistent infection with "high-risk" HPV types results in skin warts and leads to precancerous lesions and invasive cancer. HPV infection is considered as a source for all incidents of cervical cancer. E2, E6, and E7 proteins of HPV-16 and 18 are considered the main viral oncoproteins that take part in cervical cancer. The type-specific antigen epitopes of E2, E6, and E7 proteins of HPV-16 are fused together and expressed in E. coli

Small volumes of HPV 18 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.

MBS144123 is a recombinant protein targeting HPV 18. Also known as Recombinant Human Papillomavirus 18. Host: E Coli.
