Anti-Viral CMV UL146 – Biotin

E. coli-Derived Recombinant Viral CMV UL146

This biotinylated antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 – 7.3 containing 50 µg of bovine serum albumin per µg of antibody with no calcium, magnesium, or preservatives present.

Lyophilized

The lyophilized, biotinylated antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for up to twelve months from date of receipt. The reconstituted biotin conjugate can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted conjugate, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months.

Goat Anti-Viral Cytomegalovirus UL 146 (CMV UL146) recognizes Viral CMV UL146. This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody was purified using a proprietary chromatographic technique that includes covalently immobilizing the antigen proteins or peptides to agarose based beads. This purification method enhances specificity, reduces nonspecific binding of extraneous IgG and provides you with the most reliable reagent available for your early discovery research.

Cytomegalovirus unique long 146 (CMV UL146) is a ubiquitous beta-herpes virus and is principally present in peripheral monocytes. It is the major infectious cause of birth defects.¹ CMV has 19 genes designated as UL133 - UL151, of which UL146 is one of those genes that has lost virulence characteristics.
