Recombinant Protein
products full name : 
Varicella Zoster Virus ORF26 Recombinant
products short name : 
Varicella Zoster Virus ORF26
products name syn : 
vzv; varicella zoster; orf26
other names : 
DNA packaging protein UL32; DNA packaging protein
products gene name : 
VZV ORF26
uniprot entry name : 
Q6QCM9_HHV3
purity : 
>95%, as determined by SDS-PAGE.
form : 
Lyophilized from 25mM Tris-Hcl pH 8.0, 1mM EDTA and 50% glycerol.
storage stability : 
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20 degree C.   Upon reconstitution, this protein can be stored in working aliquots at 2 degree - 8 degree C for one month, or at -20 degree C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity.   Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
app notes : 
VZV ORF26 antigen is suitable for ELISA and Western blots, excellent antigen for detection of VZV with minimal specificity problems.
other info1 : 
Host Note: DNA sequence encoding immunodominant fragment of Varicella Zoster virus ORF26 protein was expressed in Escherichia Coli.
other info2 : 
Reconstitution: A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.  Molecular Weight Note: Recombinant Varicella Zoster virus ORF26 encodes the immunodominant sequences of the VZV DNA packagig protein. This molecule has a calculated mass of approximately 7kDa.   Recombinant VZV ORF26 contains an N terminal GST purification tag and migrates as an approximately 33 kDa protein under non-reducing conditions and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.
