Catalogue Number | RUB-293 |
Introduction | Rubella virus is an enveloped positive-strand RNA virus of the family TOGAVIRIDAE: Virions are composed of three structural proteins: a capsid and two membrane-spanning glycoproteins, E2 and E1. During virus assembly, the capsid interacts with genomic RNA to form nucleocapsids. |
Description | The E.Coli derived recombinant protein contains the Rubella Virus Capsid C regions, 1-123 amino acids and fused to a GST-Tag at C-terminus. |
Purification Method | Rubella protein was purified by proprietary chromatographic technique. |
Purity | Rubella protein is >95% pure as determined by 10% PAGE (coomassie staining). |
Formulation | 20mM imidazol, 8M urea and 0.3M NaCl. |
Storage | Rubella Capsid protein although stable at 4°C for 1 week, should be stored below -18°C.
Please prevent freeze thaw cycles. |
Specificty | Immunoreactive with sera of Rubella Virus infected individuals. |
Applications | Rubella antigen is suitable for ELISA and Western blots, excellent antigen for detection of Rubella Virus with minimal specificity problems. |
