HIV-1 Envelope

SKU: orb85310

Description

This antigen is an E.coli-derived recombinant protein that composes all of the reported immunogenic determinants found in gp41 and at the C-terminus of gp120. The gene encoding this fusion protein was synthesized using codons optimized for E.coli expression and doesn't represent a linear HIV-1 envelope sequence. HIV-1 is a non-glycosylated, 233 amino acid polypeptide chain, having a molecular mass of 27.28 kDa. Superior diagnostic reagent for HIV-1 and HIV type-O detection. Detects all HIV-1 and HIV-type O infected individuals responding to envelope proteins. The fusion protein was purified by proprietary chromatographic technique.
