ASFV P72

Source:Escherichia Coli. Physical Appearance:Sterile Filtered colorless solution. Biological Activitynull African swine fever virus (ASFV) causes African swine fever (ASF), a disease of swine characterized by high morbidity and mortality. ASFV is a large DNA virus which belongs to Asfarviridae family. ASFVâ€TMs multilayered virion consists from up to 54 polypeptides while p72 is the major capsid component. Middle part of p72 protein contains most epitopes tested by monoclonal antibodies, while C-terminal peptide of P72 isused for the genotyping of ASFV isolates. Recombinant African Swine Fever Virus P72 (40-315 aa) produced in E.coli having a Mw of 33kDa.The African Swine Fever Virus P72 is fused to a 6xHis tag and purified by proprietary chromatographic technique.

Protein is >95% pure as determined by 10% PAGE (coomassie staining) .
