Recombinant HIV-1 Gag p55 Protein

This recombinant HIV-1 Gag p55 protein, supplied by Antibodies.com, is a full-length polyprotein produced for HIV research applications. The 55 kDa precursor encodes the structural matrix (p17), capsid (p24), nucleocapsid (p7), and p6 polypeptides that are liberated by the viral protease during virion maturation. Provided as a 100 µg liquid formulation, it supports SDS-PAGE analysis, western blot detection, dot blot work, and ELISA assay development. Aliquot upon receipt and store frozen at -20 °C or lower to preserve activity; avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Intended for research use only, the reagent is commonly used in vaccine design studies, antibody characterization, and diagnostic assay calibration for HIV-1 antigen detection.
