Gp120 is a major protein of the icosahedral capsid of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). EBV infection is highly prevalent worldwide, and in most patients it is asymptomatic. Occasionally, primary exposure to EBV results in infectious mononucleosis. It may have a causative role in human cancers, such as Burkitt lymphoma and nasopharynx carcinoma, and lymphomas. EBV induces the immortalization of primary human B cells in vitro.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
