RP-4920 can be used as a positive control in Western blotting with ABR antibody anti-HIV-1 p55 (PA1-4959, or PA1-4960), as well as a p55 antigen in detection of anti-HIV-1 p55 antibody in Western blotting or ELISA. Also, it can be used as standard for the quantitative analysis of HIV-1 p55 antigen.
RP-4920 has a calculated molecular weight of ~55 kDa.
Purity is 90%.
HIV-1 Gag p55 is a precursor protein of several proteins that form the core structure of AIDS virus, indispensable to its reproduction. This protein is digested by HIV-1 protease, first into intermediate products p41 and p15. Then p41 is digested into matrix protein p17 and capsid protein p24. Protein p15 is further digested into nucleocapsid protein p7 and to p6 and p1, both of unknown function.
