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

G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are involved in a variety of disease processes and comprise major drug targets. However, the complexity of integral membrane proteins such as GPCRs makes the identification of their interacting partners and subsequent drug development challenging. A
ICP22 is a multifunctional herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) immediate early protein that functions as a general repressor of a subset of cellular and viral promoters in transient expression systems. Although the exact mechanism of repression remains unclear, this protein

Following infection, the physical state of linear herpes simplex virus (HSV) genomes may change into an "endless" or circular form. In this study, using Southern blot analysis of the HSV genome, we provide evidence that immediate-early protein ICP4 is involved

The effects of exercise on skeletal muscle are mediated by a coupling between muscle electrical activity and gene expression. Several activity correlates, such as intracellular Ca(2+), hypoxia and metabolites like free fatty acids (FFAs), might initiate signalling pathways regulating fibre-type-specific
