Alternative names:

SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 (Delta) Spike RBD Protein

Description:

Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 RBD(L452R,T478K) protein with C-terminal 6×His tag

Background:

SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) also known as Covid19 (2019 Novel Coronavirus) is a virus that causes illnesses ranging from the common cold to severe diseases. The spike protein is a type I transmembrane protein containing two subunits, S1 and S2. S1 mainly contains a receptor binding domain (RBD), which accounts for recognizing the cell surface receptor, ACE2. S2 contains basic elements needed for the membrane fusion. Recent publications indicate that S1-RBD domain can induce virus neutralizing-antibody and T cell response.

Molecular characterization:

RBD(L452R,T478K)(Ser19-Glu351) 6×His tag

Molecular weight:

The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 26.0 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of RBD(L452R,T478K)-His is approximately 25-35 kDa due to glycosylation.

Tag:

C-6×His Tag

Expression host:

HEK293

Target:

S protein RBD

Purity:

The purity of the protein is greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining.

Formulation / Reconstitution:

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8% trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions of reconstitution.

Storage:

Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.
