Description: Lassa virus Z protein is expressed in E. coli as a recombinant protein. The theoretical molecular weight of the protein is approximately 11 kDa
Size: 100 µg is supplied in sodium phosphate buffer supplemented with 5% glycerol and 0.1% Triton X-100 at a concentration of 0.427 mg/mL.
Endotoxin: 171.149 Endotoxin units/mg
Relevance: Lassa fever is an acute viral haemorrhagic illness caused by Lassa virus, a member of the arenavirus family of viruses. Lassa virus is a membrane-bound RNA virus containing the glycoproteins (GP1 and GP2), the matrix protein (Z), the polymerase (L) and nucleoprotein (NP). Lassa Z matrix protein plays an integral role in virus particle release.
Recommended Dilutions:
