| Formulation |
Sterile filtered solution containing 50mM arginine and 1M urea. |
| Purity |
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
HbsAg subtype adw2 produced in E.Coli, is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 226 amino acids and having a molecular weight of approximately 23.0kDa. HBsAg adw2 migrates on SDS-PAGE as a 23kDa monomer band with minor amounts of dimer (46kDa) and trimer (69kDa) forms.The HBsAg is fused to a 6 His tag on C-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
HBsAg is the surface antigenof the Hepatitis-B-Virus (HBV). The capsidof a virus has different surface proteins from the rest of the virus. The antigen is a protein that binds specifically on one of these surface proteins. It is commonly referred to as the Australian Antigen. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability |
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. |
