CAT No.BT-HIV-101

HIV-1 Envelope Recombinant, HIV-1 Envelope, 500ug

---

Applications
HIV-1 Envelope antigen is suitable for ELISA and Western blots, excellent antigen for early detection of HIV seroconvertors with minimal specificity problems.

Description
HIV-1 envelope is an E.coli-derived recombinant protein that composes all of the reported immunogenic determinants found in gp41 and a small portion of gp120. The gene encoding this fusion protein was synthesized using codons optimized for E.coli expression and doesn¡¯t represent a linear HIV-1 envelope sequence. HIV-1 is a non-glycosylated, 233 amino acid polypeptide chain, having a molecular mass of 27275.88 dalton and pI=9.68. HIV-1 envelope protein spans the C-Terminus of gp120 and most of gp41. Superior diagnostic reagent for HIV-1 and HIV type-O detection. Detects all HIV-1 and HIV-type O infected individuals responding to envelope proteins.

Formulation
The HIV-1 contains 0.5X PBS & 6M urea.

Sterile filtered colorless clear solution.

Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by HPLC analysis and SDS-PAGE.

Source
Escherichia Coli.

Specificity
Immunoreactive with all sera of HIV-1 and HIV-type O infected individuals and with 60-80% of HIV-2 infected individuals.

Stability
HIV-1 Envelope protein is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon arrival, Store at -20¡ãC Stable for Five years frozen. One month in solution at room temperature.
