Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) Glycoprotein B/gB Protein (His)

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) (human herpesvirus 5) glycoprotein B, also referred as CMV gB or gB, which belongs to the herpesviridae glycoprotein B family. It is a 97-amino acid glycoprotein encoded by the ORF of UL55. Cytomegalovirus Glycoprotein B protein is the most abundant component of the envelope, a target of neutralizing antibodies with at least two defined neutralizing epitopes and an essential replication component. Cytomegalovirus Glycoprotein B protein plays important roles in HCMV entry, cell-cell spread of internal virions, and fusion of infected cells. In addition, Cytomegalovirus Glycoprotein B protein is one envelope protein capable of heparin binding. It forms a physical association with host cell annexin II independent of the presence of calcium.

Accession Number	P13201
Synonyms	Human cytωlovirus (HCMV) Glycoprotein B/gB
Construction	A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain (Met 1-Lys 700) linked with the cytoplasmic domain (Arg 777-Val 907) of human CMV gB (AAA45920.1, with furin cleavage site mutated from 'RTKR' to 'TTQT') was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
Protein Purity	> 70 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Molecular Weight	Approxiamtely 93.2 kDa

Endotoxin	< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
Formulation	Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0. 01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.
Reconstitution	A hardcopy of datasheet with reconstitution instructions is sent along with the products. Please refer to it for detailed information.
Stability & Storage	Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20℃ to -80℃. Store it under sterile conditions at -20℃ to -80℃. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Shipping	In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature.Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise.
