Recombinant Gra8, Toxoplasma gondii

Synonyms

p35, dense granule protein 8

Description

Recombinant Toxoplasma gondii Gra8 is expressed in E. coli as a monomeric, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 149 amino acids with a molecular mass of 15800 Da. The product represents a central fragment of the native protein. It carries an N-terminal fusion of 6 Histidines.

Specifications

• Source: Genetically engineered Escherichia coli
• Stabilizers: None
• Preservatives: None
• Diluent: Antigen specific solution, contains 8M Urea. Antigen lots in PBS / 0.1% SDS are prepared on request only.
• Purification: Ion Exchange Chromatography
• Purity: 98%, analysed by SDS-PAGE (reducing and non-reducing) followed by Coomassie-Blue staining and immunoprobing of Western blotted proteins with anti-E.coli serum (DAKO)
• Endotoxin: Not determined
• Protein concentration: Determined spectrophotometrically at 280nm (ext. coeff. 7680) and densitometrically by Advanced Image Data Analyzer software (Raytest) in relation to BSA standards

Quality Control

The integrity of the plasmid is controlled by restriction analysis and DNA sequencing. The expression product is characterized by N-terminal protein sequencing, SDS-PAGE (app. m.w.) and immunodetection of the Western blotted protein. In addition, correct reactivities compared to previous antigen lots with defined human and animal sera (negative, low, medium and high positive) are mandatory.

Storage and Shelf Life

At -80°C 10 years from the date of production
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles
