The OV16 antigen, localizes to the hypodermis, cuticle, and uterus of female O.
volvulus is regarded as a highly sensitive and specific antigen for detection of IgG4 in people with prior exposure to onchocerciasis.
It has an open reading frame that encodes a 152- amino acid polypeptide containing a 16-amino acid putative signal peptide.
Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay serological testing of OV-16 antigen is a diagnostic tool for determining effective elimination of the parasite.
特徴
This protein carries an Avi tag (Avitag) at the N-terminus, followed by a GST tag.
The protein has a calculated MW of 48.6 kDa.
The protein migrates as 46-50 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE).
