Shelf Life: 12 months

Purity: > 95 % (SDS-PAGE, RP-HPLC)

Form: liquid (Supplied in 50 mM NaPO4 pH 6.0, 1 mM DTT and 1 mM EDTA)

Applications:
Antigen in ELISA and Western blots, excellent antigen for early detection of HIV seroconvertors with minimal specificity problems.

Description:
The protein contains the full-length HTLV-1 major core protein p24. The protein is purified by proprietary chromatographic technique.

Background: Human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV)-1 and -2 are deltaretroviruses that infect a wide range of cells. HTLV-1 has been found primarily in CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes in vivo, whereas CD8+ T-lymphocytes are thought to be the in vivo reservoir of HTLV-2.

Specificity: Immuno reactive with all sera of HIV-I infected individuals.
