Catalog No. ABIN7538804

This VLP protein is produced in HEK-293 Cells.

Quick Overview for Norovirus GI.3 VP1+VP2 protein-VLP (ABIN7538804)

Target: Norovirus GI.3 VP1+VP2

Protein Type: VLP

Origin: Norovirus

Source: HEK-293 Cells

Application: ELISA, Lateral Flow (LF), Western Blotting (WB)

Product Details

Purpose: VLP of Norovirus GI.3 (VP1+VP2)

Characteristics: Norovirus-like particles (VLP) were produced in HEK cells by co-expression of the VP1 and VP2 protein. The VLPs do not contain the viral genome, cannot replicate and are not infectious.

Purification: Polyethylene glycol precipitation

Biological Activity Comment: active

Application Details

Application Notes: Applications: Immunogenic antigen, antigen for ELISA and Western blot, reference for rapid antigen tests.
Western blot: 1-10 μg, ELISA: 1-5 μg/mL

Comment:

Virus-like Particles are multiprotein complexes that resemble a native virus, but lack the genetic information. Therefore, VLPs are safe to handle in numerous fields of applications. For example, VLPs can be applied as antigen in serological assays (e.g. ELISA), or serve as reference material to standardize the performance of different diagnostic tests (e.g. rapid antigen tests or ELISA). Due to the self-adjuvanting properties of VLPs is the most common application of VLPs the use as antigen for immunizations for vaccine development or antibody discovery campaigns.
