| Formulation | Phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4 and 0.02% sodium nitrate. |
| Purity | Protein is >95% pure as determined by 12% PAGE (coomassie staining). |
| Description | Dengue-gold is an antigen used for dengue antibody rapid test. This antigen is genetically developed from 4 dengue subtypes. This antigen can be recognized by most of the dengue antibodies from infected patients. Dengue Antigen for Rapid Test has over 90% sensitivity and specificity over 90% to detect both dengue IgM and IgG. |
| Protein Background | Caused by one of four closely related virus serotypes of the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae, each serotype is sufficiently different that there is no cross-protection and epidemics caused by multiple serotypes (hyperendemicity) can occur. In cell culture experiments and mice Morpholino antisense oligos have shown specific activity against Dengue virus. |
| Expression host | E.coli. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered clear solution. |
| Stability | Recombinant Dengue Rapid Test although stable at 4C for 1 week, should be stored below -18°C. Please prevent freeze thaw cycles. |
| Purification Method | Purified by proprietary chromatographic technique. |
