IBT Bioservices Ebola Virus-Like Particles (EBOV VIP) (Zaire)

IBT Bioservices Ebola Virus-Like Particles (EBOV VIP) (Zaire) 

Summary

• Virus-like Particles (VLP’s) expressing recombinant Ebola virus (EBOV) glycoprotein (GP), nucleoprotein (NP), and matrix protein (VP40). Are produced in Sf9 insect cells through infection with a recombinant baculovirus. Relevance: These VLP’s mimic Ebola virus but do not contain genetic material, thus are not infectious and make an ideal candidate as a vaccine and tool to enhance filovirus research.
• Pathogen Strain: Zaire
• Purification: Column chromatography
• Expression: SF9 cells
• Formulation: Supplied in PBS (supplemented with arginine and glutamic acid)
• Store at 2-3 weeks at -20°C, -80°C long term. Subaliquoting is recommended to avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Please note: After thawing, VLP’s tend to sediment to bottom of the tube and appear as aggregate pellet. Resuspend by gentle vortexing or pipetting up and down.
