Cytomegalovirus is an enveloped double stranded DNA virus which in humans (HCMV) is commonly known as human herpesvirus 5 (HHV-5). Glycoprotein B (gB) is the main antigenic protein within the envelope of HCMV. It is required for HCMV mediated membrane fusion along with the gH/gL complex. The unprocessed precursor of HCMV gB is 906aa in length, with a MW of ~100kD. Applications: Suitable use in Western Blot, Immunofluorescence and ELISA. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 1:1000, Immunofluorescence: 1:1000, ELISA: 1:10,000, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
