12MeN-BSc-Gly

Measles virus recombinant nucleoprotein (Me-rN) from S. cerevisiae, in glycerol stock

Description: Measles virus strain Edmonston (Schwarz vaccine) full-length (525 a.a.) recombinant nucleoprotein (GenBank: AAF85699.1). Expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and purified from yeast lysates by ultracentrifugation in CsCl gradients under native (non-denaturing) conditions.

Quality: assembled in nucleocapsid-like particles (NLPs), which are morphologically similar to native viral nucleocapsids.

Current Lot EM picture: Me-rN preparation visualized by negative staining with uranyl acetate, magnification 71.000x

Form: formulated in glycerol stock solution (50%) in phosphate buffer.

Storage: The product is shipped with dry ice (shipment cost to Europe: 160 €). Store at -20ºC in liquid form (solution does not freeze at this temperature).

Concentration: 1.7 mg/ml

Purity: >90 % as determined by SDS-PAGE.

SDS-PAGE showing Me-rN product 12MeN-BSc-Gly at approximately 58 kDa (3.4 μg/lane).

Applications (tested): ELISA, other immunoassays, Electron microscopy, Western blot, SDS-PAGE.
