HIV1 p24 Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (002), Invitrogen™

Description

• This product is preservative free
• It is recommended to add sodium azide to avoid contamination (final concentration 0.05%-0.1%)
• Recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies are produced using in vitro expression systems
• The expression systems are developed by cloning in the specific antibody DNA sequences from immunoreactive rabbits
• Then, individual clones are screened to select the best candidates for production
• The advantages of using recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies include: better specificity and sensitivity, lot-to-lot consistency, animal origin-free formulations, and broader immunoreactivity to diverse targets due to larger rabbit immune repertoire
• This antibody has specificity for HIV-1 Gag-P24
• HIV-1 Gag p24 is a capsid protein that constitutes the core of the AIDS virus HIV-1 and is produced by the digestion of its precursor Gag p55 by HIV-1 protease
• The HIV-1 Gag p24 protein is indispensable to the reproduction of AIDS virus, and constitutes an essential element for the AIDS virus particle construction
• HIV-1 Gag p24 is detectable from the early stage of AIDS virus infection, and is used as a marker for observation of the development in the patient’s condition after treatment, as it indicated the amount of virus in the blood.
