Anti-Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), Early Antigen, restricted, p17, Bc12 (EA)(EBV), clone 2Q1912

The Early Restricted protein (EA-Restricted p17) of Epstein-Bar Virus is encoded by the viral BHFR1 gene. EA-Restricted p17 is a 17kD protein (p17) with protein kinase activity. EA-Restricted p17 is a functional homologue of the anti-apoptotic oncoprotein bcl-2, which is expressed during the switch from latency to lytic replication and may be involved in proliferation of EBV infected cells. However, EA-Restricted p17 does not appear to be essential for virus replication or transformation of B cells in vitro. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunofluorescence and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Optimal dilutions to be determined by researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
