Description

Ul84 Protein, Cytomegalovirus CAS NO 145186-23-8 is a recombinant protein derived from the UL84 gene of Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV). This protein is a critical research reagent for studying viral replication mechanisms, host-pathogen interactions, and antiviral drug development. It is essential for virology research laboratories, pharmaceutical R&D departments, and diagnostic kit manufacturers focused on herpesviruses. The product is supplied as a high-purity, functionally active protein suitable for a range of biochemical and immunological assays.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a key antigen in studies investigating the role of the UL84 protein in HCMV DNA replication and viral gene regulation.
• Antiviral Drug Screening: Serves as a target protein in high-throughput screening assays to identify and validate novel inhibitors of HCMV replication.
• Antibody Production & Characterization: Acts as an immunogen for generating monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies specific to the HCMV UL84 protein for diagnostic and research applications.
• Diagnostic Development: Utilized as a coated antigen or detection reagent in the development of ELISA and other immunoassays for HCMV infection.
• Protein-Protein Interaction Studies: Employed in pull-down assays, co-immunoprecipitation, or yeast two-hybrid systems to map interactions with other viral and host cell proteins.
• Vaccine Research: Investigated as a potential component in subunit vaccine candidates aimed at preventing HCMV infection, particularly in immunocompromised individuals and neonates.

Quality Control

Our Ul84 Protein is produced under stringent conditions and undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure high purity, identity, and functional activity. Each batch is analyzed for endotoxin levels and sterility where applicable. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (by SDS-PAGE and HPLC), concentration, biological activity data, and storage buffer composition. Our quality management system supports research and development requiring consistent, reliable, and well-characterized biological reagents.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C to -80°C in aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation. Store under conditions recommended on the specific product label or Certificate of Analysis.
