|
NIH - Influenza Pandemic Preparedness in Asia Program
|
|
Material Provided:
|
Each vial contains 0.25 mL of purified recombinant N4 NA protein in 20 mM sodium phosphate and 0.5 M N-methyl α-D-mannopyranoside (pH 8.0). The concentration, expressed as μg/mL, is shown on the Certificate of Analysis.
|
|
Packing/Storage:
|
Purified recombinant N4 NA protein was packaged aseptically in cryovials. This product is provided on wet ice and should be stored at 2 to 8°C immediately upon arrival.
|
|
Functional Activity:
|
NR-656 is biologically active in a neuraminidase assay. NR-656 is specific to the N4 NA subtype of influenza virus as determined in serological neuraminidase inhibition (NI) assays. NR-656 demonstrates reactivity in NI and ELISA assays within the N4 NA subtype.
Applications: NI, ELISA, SDS-PAGE, Western blot, antiserum preparation (immunogen)
