特徴

• Coronaviruses are enveloped, positive-stranded RNA viruses with a genome of approximately 30kb (Lai, 1990). In animals they are significant veterinary pathogens, often causing severe disease (Holmes, 2001). Prior to early 2000, only two human coronaviruses were recognized, Human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) and Human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) which are a common cause of upper respiratory tract infections (Chibo and Birch, 2006). In late 2002, a third human coronavirus (SARS-CoV) was implicated as the aetiological agent of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) (Drosten et al., 2003). Since then, several more human coronaviruses have been identified, including HCoV-NL63 associated with upper and lower respiratory tract infections (van der Hoek et al., 2004) and HCoV-HKU1 in patients with pneumonia (Woo et al., 2005) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).
• Nucleoproteins, also known as nucleocapsid proteins, are phosphoproteins that are capable of binding to helix and have flexible structure of viral genomic RNA. It plays an important role in virion structure, replication and transcription of coronaviruses, as it localizes in both the replication/ transcriptional region of the coronaviruses and the ERGIC region where the virus is collected. It packages the positive strand viral genome RNA into a helical ribonucleocapsid (RNP) and plays a fundamental role during virion assembly through its interactions with the viral genome and membrane protein M. It also plays an important role in enhancing the efficiency of subgenomic viral RNA transcription as well as viral replication.
• Recombinant protein corresponding to 359 amino acids derived from the nucleocapsid sequence of human Coronavirus 229E Nucleoprotein, fused to 6X His-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
• Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA and other Immunoassays. Other applications not tested.
• Storage and Stability:Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -70°C. Aliquots are stable for 6 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
