Description

P12 Protein, Mason-Pfizer Monkey Virus is a recombinant protein derived from the Mason-Pfizer Monkey Virus (M-PMV), a retrovirus used extensively in virology and structural biology research. This product is critical for studying retroviral assembly, capsid formation, and as a key reagent in the development of assays for viral protein function. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical R&D departments, and biotechnology companies focused on virology, structural biology, and antiviral drug discovery.

Application

• Virology Research: Fundamental studies on retroviral structure, assembly mechanisms, and the life cycle of Mason-Pfizer Monkey Virus.
• Structural Biology: Serving as a model protein for X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy, and other structural analysis techniques to understand viral capsid architecture.
• Assay Development: Use as a standard or critical component in biochemical and cell-based assays to screen for antiviral compounds or study protein-protein interactions.
• Antigen Production: Potential use as an immunogen for antibody generation for diagnostic or research applications targeting M-PMV proteins.
• Biochemical Reagent: A purified protein source for in vitro studies on enzymatic activity, protein folding, and stability relevant to retroviral proteins.

Quality Control

Our P12 Protein is produced and tested under stringent conditions to ensure high purity, identity, and biological activity suitable for research applications. Each batch is analyzed for critical parameters including purity by SDS-PAGE and HPLC, identity by mass spectrometry, and endotoxin levels. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting lot-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture uptake.
