Recombinant Biotinylated SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1 (T19R, G142D, EF156-157del, R158G, L452R, T478K, D614G, P681R), His,Avitag™, 25µg

Background
It's been reported that Coronavirus can infect the human respiratory epithelial cells through interaction with the human ACE2 receptor. The spike protein is a large type I transmembrane protein containing two subunits, S1 and S2. S1 mainly contains a receptor binding domain (RBD), which is responsible for recognizing the cell surface receptor. S2 contains basic elements needed for the membrane fusion.The S protein plays key parts in the induction of neutralizing-antibody and T-cell responses, as well as protective immunity.

Source
Recombinant Biotinylated SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1, His,Avitag (S1N-C82E5) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Val 16 - Arg 685 (Accession # QHD43416.1). The mutations (T19R, G142D, EF156-157del, R158G, L452R, T478K, D614G, P681R) were identified in the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant (Pango lineage: B.1.617.2; GISAID clade: GK; Nextstrain clade: 21A/21I/21J).
Predicted N-terminus: Val 16

Molecular Characterization
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus, followed by an Avi tag.
The protein has a calculated MW of 78.4 kDa. The protein migrates as 100-120 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

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

Passed as determined by the HABA assay / binding ELISA.

Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity
>95% as determined by reduced SDS-PAGE.

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