General description

Anti-VP16 is produced in rabbit using a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 474-487 of the herpes simplex virus VP16 protein, conjugated to KLH via an N-terminal added cysteine residue. Whole antiserum is fractionated and further purified by ionexchange chromatography to provide the IgG fraction of antiserum that is essentially free of other rabbit serum proteins.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 474-487 of the herpes simplex virus VP16 protein, conjugated to KLH via an N-terminal added cysteine residue.

Application

Anti-VP16 recognizes VP16 fusion proteins by immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation. It is used to study the effect of sialic acid on herpes simplex virus type 1 envelope glycoproteins. It is also used to study if self-association of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus nucleoprotein is mediated by its N-terminal region and is not required for its anti-interferon function.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

The biological function of proteins may be predicted by identification of their interacting partners, and one of the major goals of the postgenomic era is the mapping of protein interaction networks. Membrane proteins are of particular interest because of their
