Description

F Protein, Phocine Distemper Virus is a key viral envelope protein derived from the Phocine Distemper Virus (PDV), a pathogen affecting pinnipeds. This recombinant protein is critical for research and diagnostic applications, particularly in the study of morbillivirus pathogenesis, host immune responses, and vaccine development. It serves as an essential reagent for virologists, immunologists, and diagnostic manufacturers focused on veterinary and comparative virology.

Application

• Diagnostic Assay Development: Used as a coating antigen or target in ELISA, immunoblot, and lateral flow assays for the detection of PDV-specific antibodies.
• Vaccine Research: Serves as a key immunogen in preclinical studies for evaluating novel vaccine candidates against morbilliviruses.
• Antibody Production: Employed to generate and purify monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies for research and diagnostic use.
• Virology & Pathogenesis Studies: Essential for investigating virus-host cell interactions, entry mechanisms, and neutralizing antibody assays.
• Serological Surveillance: A critical component in seroprevalence studies and wildlife health monitoring programs for marine mammals.
• Reference Standard: Acts as a purified protein standard for assay calibration and quality control in diagnostic kits.

Quality Control

Our F Protein, Phocine Distemper Virus is produced under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high biological activity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including purity assessment by SDS-PAGE and HPLC, identity confirmation via Western Blot, and endotoxin level testing. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, concentration, and biological activity is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized material at -20°C or below. Reconstituted protein aliquots should be stored at -70°C to -80°C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive).
