Zika Virus (ZIKV-NS1) Antigen >90%

Supplied as a 100 μg aliquot of affinity-purified recombinant antigen, this Zika Virus (ZIKV-NS1) preparation from Antibodies.com supports assay development, serology research, and vaccine immunology workflows. The NS1 protein is a conserved flavivirus glycoprotein secreted by infected cells during active viral replication, making it a primary biomarker for acute-phase Zika infection and a widely used target in immunodiagnostic test design.

Produced as a recombinant construct and purified by affinity chromatography to a purity exceeding 90%, the antigen is suited to coating microplates in ELISA, supporting the generation of anti-NS1 monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, and benchmarking diagnostic reagents. Researchers also employ recombinant NS1 in viral pathogenesis studies, flavivirus immunobiology work, and structural investigations of glycoprotein dimerization and membrane association. As a defined antigenic target, ZIKV-NS1 underpins studies of flavivirus antibody cross-reactivity, particularly the documented serological overlap observed with related flaviviruses such as dengue virus.

The reagent is provided as a purified recombinant antigen preparation. For routine use, store aliquots frozen at -20°C to -80°C and minimize freeze-thaw cycles to preserve immunoreactivity. The product is intended for research use only.
