Description

Cytomegalovirus Phosphoprotein 71Kda is a highly purified viral phosphoprotein, a key antigenic component of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). This product is essential for research and diagnostic applications focused on understanding and detecting CMV infection. It is primarily utilized by biotechnology firms, diagnostic kit manufacturers, and academic research institutions engaged in virology, immunology, and infectious disease studies.

Application

• Immunoassay Development: Critical raw material for the production of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits and other immunoassays for CMV antibody detection.
• Diagnostic Reference Standard: Serves as a calibrated antigen standard for the validation and quality control of commercial diagnostic tests.
• Biomedical Research: Used in fundamental virology research to study CMV protein function, virus-host interactions, and the mechanisms of viral latency and reactivation.
• Vaccine Research: Investigated as a potential antigenic target in the development of novel CMV vaccines and therapeutic antibodies.
• Clinical Specimen Evaluation: Employed as a positive control in Western blot and other immunoblotting techniques to confirm patient serostatus.
