Triton X-100

SKU: orb1745264

Description

Triton X-100 is a nonionic, non-denaturing detergent widely used to solubilize membrane proteins and lipids in biochemical research. Its applications extend to cell lysis, protein purification, and as an excipient in vaccine manufacturing, such as in split-virus influenza vaccines.

Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  Triton X-100 (ranging from 0.5% to 0.05%; 1 h; Vero E6 cells) obtained with WNV showed that infectivity was reduced by 6 Logs. This effect was not time-dependent using 0.1% Triton X-100. We applied the method to EBOV and one-hour exposure to 0.1% Triton X-100 strongly affected EBOV infectivity (4 Logs of infectivity reduction).
