Human immunodeficiency virus subtype A, gp140 (SOSIP), untagged
Human immunodeficiency virus subtype A. glycoprotein 140 (gp140). This protein is the soluble part of the human immunodeficiency virus Envelope protein gp160. In mammalian cells the protein is cleaved by a furin-like protease into gp120 and the soluble portion of gp41. The protein has been engineered so that both of these proteins are linked via a disulfide bridge. The furin cleavage site was enhanced to ""RRRRRR"" to facilitate maximum cleavage. An estimated 25% of the protein is cleaved into gp120 and the soluble gp41 fraction, 75% are presented as gp140.
Oligomeric status is mainly monomeric, with a minority of dimer and trimer. The protein was produced in HEK293 cells and purified from culture supernatant by lectin affinity chromatography.
Buffer: DPBS
Applications: ELISA, LFA
