Description

P Protein, Phocid Distemper Virus CAS NO 146991-83-5 is a recombinant protein antigen derived from the Phocine Distemper Virus (PDV), a significant pathogen affecting marine mammals. This high-purity protein is essential for the development of sensitive and specific diagnostic assays and research into viral pathogenesis and immunology. It is a critical reagent for veterinary diagnostic laboratories, wildlife conservation researchers, and pharmaceutical companies focused on marine animal health and vaccine development.

Application

• Diagnostic Kit Development: Primary antigen for ELISA, immunoblot, and lateral flow assays to detect PDV antibodies in seal, sea lion, and other pinniped populations.
• Veterinary Research: Used in serological surveys and epidemiological studies to monitor PDV outbreaks and understand transmission dynamics in marine ecosystems.
• Vaccine Research & Development: Serves as a key immunogen and reference standard in the R&D of novel vaccines and therapeutics against phocine distemper.
• Antibody Production: Immunogen for generating high-affinity polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies in host animals for diagnostic and research applications.
• Cross-Reactivity Studies: Utilized to investigate antigenic relationships between PDV and other morbilliviruses like Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) and Measles Virus.
• Quality Control & Standardization: Acts as a reference standard for calibrating diagnostic equipment and ensuring batch-to-batch consistency in assay manufacturing.

Quality Control

Our P Protein, Phocid Distemper Virus is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is subjected to rigorous analytical testing including SDS-PAGE, Western Blot, and HPLC analysis to ensure high purity, specificity, and biological activity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, endotoxin levels, and functional assay data are provided to guarantee consistency and reliability for your critical research and diagnostic applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized material at -20°C or below. Upon reconstitution, aliquot and store at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed under inert atmosphere or desiccated conditions after opening.
