Protein Construction A DNA sequence encoding the Influenza A virus (A/turkey/Ireland/1378/1983(H5N8)) hemagglutinin (ABI85117.1) (Met1-Gln527), termed as HA, was expressed with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
Bio-activity 1. Measured by its ability to bind with Neu5Aca2-3Galb1-4GlcNAcb-PAA-biotin (01-077) using the Octet RED System.
2. Measured by its ability to bind with Neu5Aca2-6GalNAca-PAA-biotin (01-059) using the Octet RED System.
3. Measured by its ability to agglutinate guinea pig red blood cells. HA titer is 4-16 μg/mL for 1% GRBC.
Research Area Microbiology |Pathogenic microorganism |viruses |animal virus |viral illness |Viral tract respiratory illness |
Formulation Lyophilized from sterile 20 mM Tris, 500 mM NaCl, 10 % glycerol, pH 7.4.
1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA.
