Anti-VSV-G Epitope Tag (Vesicular Stomatitis Virus)

VSV is a member of the Rhabdoviridae family, and consists of a single RNA molecule that encodes five proteins, one of which is a surface glycoprotein (G). G is a type I membrane glycoprotein and is responsible for viral binding to cell surface receptors and initiating the infectious process. VSV-G Epitope Tags specifically recognize fusion proteins containing the VSV-G epitope tag sequence (YTDIEMNRLGK). Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:8,000 to 1:32,000, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Freeze at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
