Descrição:
The E. coli derived 52.8kDa recombinant protein contains the CMV Pp38 (UL80a) immunodominant regions, 117-373 amino acids and is fused to a GST-Tag at the C-terminus. The protein is purified by proprietary chromatographic technique.

Background: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a member of the herpesvirus family, demonstrates cell specificity for virus assembly and release. In the viral particle this antigen is bound via S-S bridge to a lower Mr compound to form a final complex of 62 kDa. p38 is present both in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm of CMV-infected cells starting from 24 h postinfection and increasingly thereafter. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed that this antigen is mainly associated with the internal portion of viral capsids both in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm.

Specificity: Immunoreactive with sera of CMV-infected individuals.
