Description

Phosphoprotein Pp38, Marek'S Disease Virus is a specific viral phosphoprotein associated with the Marek's disease virus (MDV), a highly contagious avian herpesvirus. This protein is of significant interest in veterinary virology and vaccine research due to its role in viral pathogenesis and latency. It serves as a critical reagent for researchers and diagnostic developers focused on avian diseases, poultry health, and the development of next-generation vaccines and diagnostic assays to control Marek's disease in global poultry populations.

Application

• Veterinary Vaccine Research & Development: Used as a key antigen in the research and formulation of novel vaccines against Marek's disease virus.
• Diagnostic Assay Development: Serves as a critical component (antigen) in the development of ELISA, Western Blot, and other immunoassays for detecting MDV-specific antibodies.
• Pathogenesis & Immunology Studies: Essential for fundamental research into MDV replication cycles, host-virus interactions, and immune evasion mechanisms.
• Reference Standard: Acts as a purified protein standard for the calibration of analytical equipment and the validation of testing methods in quality control laboratories.
• Antibody Production: Used as an immunogen to generate monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies specific to the Pp38 phosphoprotein for research and diagnostic tools.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure identity, purity, and biological activity suitable for research applications. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity confirmation (e.g., by mass spectrometry or immunoassay), and endotoxin levels are available upon request to support your regulatory and research documentation needs.

Storage

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