OV16 (Onchocerca volvulus)

Source

Biotinylated Onchocerca volvulus OV16 protein, Avi,GST Tag (OV6-V81G9) is expressed from E. coli cells. It contains AA Lys 17 - Asp 197 (Accession # P31729-1).

Predicted N-terminus: Met

Molecular Characterization

This protein carries an Avi tag (Avitag™) at the N-terminus, followed by a GST tag.

The protein has a calculated MW of 48.8 kDa. The protein migrates as 46-50 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE).

The protein is designed as a dimer.

Labeling

Biotinylation of this product is performed using Avitag™ technology. Briefly, the single lysine residue in the Avitag is enzymatically labeled with biotin.

Protein Ratio

Passed as determined by the SABA assay / HABA assay / binding ELISA.

Purity

>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

>90% as determined by SEC-MALS.

Formulation

Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.

Background

The OV16 antigen, localizes to the hypodermis, cuticle, and uterus of female O. volvulus is regarded as a highly sensitive and specific antigen for detection of IgG4 in people with prior exposure to onchocerciasis. It has an open reading frame that encodes a 152- amino acid polypeptide containing a 16-amino acid putative signal peptide. Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay serological testing of OV-16 antigen is a diagnostic tool for determining effective elimination of the parasite.
