Description

S8 Protein, Rice Gall Dwarf Virus CAS NO 144714-14-7 is a specific viral capsid protein derived from the Rice Gall Dwarf Virus (RGDV), a plant pathogen. This protein is of significant interest in agricultural biotechnology and plant virology research for its role in viral structure, assembly, and host-plant interactions. It serves as a critical reagent for researchers and developers focused on plant disease diagnostics, antiviral agent screening, and the development of novel plant protection strategies.

Application

• Plant Virology Research: Fundamental studies on Rice Gall Dwarf Virus (RGDV) structure, replication cycle, and pathogenicity mechanisms.
• Diagnostic Kit Development: Used as a key antigen or coating protein in ELISA and other immunoassay kits for the specific detection of RGDV in rice crops.
• Antiviral Screening: Serves as a target protein in high-throughput screening assays to identify compounds that inhibit viral capsid assembly or protein function.
• Antibody Production: Acts as an immunogen for generating polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies specific to RGDV for research and diagnostic purposes.
• Virus-Like Particle (VLP) Assembly: Research into the in vitro assembly of VLPs for vaccine development or as nanocarriers in biotechnology.
• Host-Pathogen Interaction Studies: Investigation of protein-protein interactions between the S8 capsid protein and host plant cell components.

Quality Control

Our S8 Protein is produced and purified under controlled conditions to ensure high batch-to-batch consistency and biological activity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including purity assessment by SDS-PAGE and HPLC, identity confirmation, and endotoxin level checks where applicable. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, concentration, buffer composition, and storage conditions is provided with every shipment to support your research and development requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store frozen at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture uptake.
