SIV p55 Recombinant Protein

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.

Introduction: 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.

Small volumes of SIV p55 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.

MBS143143 is a recombinant protein targeting SIV p55. Also known as Recombinant SIV p55. Host: Baculovirus Insect Cells.
