SARS-COV-2 Spike S (B.1.640.2/IHU) Trimer Protein

Recombinant SARS-COV-2 Spike S (B.1.640.2/IHU) Trimer Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-Terminus.It contains Val16-Pro1213(E96Q, CNDPFLGV136-144del, R190S, D215H, R346S, N394S, Y449N, E484K, F490S, N501Y, D614G, P681H, T859N, D1139H). Proline substitutions (F817P, A892P, A899P, A942P, K986P, V987P) and alanine substitutions (R683A and R685A) are introduced to stabilize the trimeric prefusion state of SARS-CoV-2 S protein and abolish the furin cleavage site, respectively. The spike protein (S) of coronavirus (CoV) attaches the virus to its cellular receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). A defined receptor-binding domain (RBD) on S mediates this interaction.The S protein plays key parts in the induction of neutralizing-antibody and T-cell responses, as well as protective immunity.
