| Storage |
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
| 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 |
Recombinant Dengue p42 antigen is a genetically engineered protein generated from dengue envelope protein, containing most dengue subtype epitopes. Specifically developed for dengue IgG/IgM lateral flow immunoassay. Recombinant Dengue p42 can detect dengue IgG and IgM from all four infected dengue virus subtypes. Having over 90% sensitivity and specify to detect dengue IgM and IgG. This antigen gives a good performance to detect dengue IgM with strong signal intensity. |
| 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 |
Escherichia Coli. |
