Virus-Like Particle (VLP) Protein Isotype Control (VLP-N5213) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293).
Molecular Characterization
Virus-Like Particle (VLP) Protein Isotype Control (VLP-N5213) is formed by self-assembly of envelop/capsid proteins from viruses, it can be used as isoytype control for VLPs displaying membrane proteins in various applications.
Virus-like particles(VLPs) are formed by self-assembly of capsid proteins from viruses. Membrane Proteins can be constituted in-situ with VLPs produced from HEK293 cell cultures. These VLPs concentrate conformationally intact membrane proteins directly on the cell surface and produce soluble, high-concentration proteins perfect for immunization and antibody screening.
The VLPs provide the display of properly folded membrane proteins in their native cellular membrane in a compact size of 100~300 nm diameter (similar to the size of most viruses) making it optimal targets for dendritic cells in vivo and surface attachment for phage display.
Formulation
The VLPs are highly immunogenic, so the immunization strategy should be optimized (antigen dose, regimen and adjuvant).
Supplied as 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.
