Description

Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Protein Ul9 CAS NO 115004-77-8 is a highly purified, recombinant protein derived from the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) genome, specifically the UL9 gene product. This protein is a critical reagent for virology research, serving as a key enzyme (origin-binding helicase) essential for viral DNA replication. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, diagnostic developers, and pharmaceutical companies engaged in antiviral drug discovery, vaccine development, and fundamental virology studies. The product is supplied with stringent quality controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and biological activity.

Application

• Antiviral Drug Screening & Development: Used as a target protein in high-throughput screening assays to identify and characterize novel inhibitors of HSV-1 replication.
• Enzymatic & Biochemical Studies: Essential for in vitro studies of helicase activity, DNA binding kinetics, and protein-protein interactions within the viral replisome.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Serves as a purified antigen for the development and validation of ELISA and other immunoassays to detect HSV-1 specific antibodies.
• Vaccine Research: Investigated as a potential component or target for next-generation subunit or epitope-based vaccines against Herpes Simplex Virus.
• Academic & Basic Research: A fundamental tool for molecular virologists studying the mechanisms of herpesvirus DNA replication, gene regulation, and host-pathogen interactions.
• Reference Standard: Used as a calibrated standard in quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays and Western blot analysis for the detection and quantification of viral components.

Quality Control

Our Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Protein Ul9 is produced under stringent conditions and undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and functional activity. Each batch is characterized using techniques including SDS-PAGE, Western Blot, and functional helicase assays. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, which includes data on purity (≥XX% by densitometry), endotoxin levels, and biological activity. Our quality system is designed to support research and development requiring high-purity, reliable biological reagents.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at ≤ -20°C in a non-frost-free freezer. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
