IBT Bioservices Sudan Virus-Like Particles (SUDV VLP)

IBT Bioservices Sudan Virus-Like Particles (SUDV VLP) 

Summary

• Sudan Virus-like particles (VLP’s) expressing recombinant Sudan virus (SUDV) glycoprotein (GP), nucleoprotein (NP), and matrix protein (VP40). These VLP’s are produced in Sf9 insect cells through infection with a recombinant baculovirus. Relevance: Since these VLP’s mimic Sudan virus but do not contain genetic material, thus are not infectious and make an ideal candidate as a vaccine and also as a tool to enhance filovirus research. Formulation & Storage: Supplied in PBS (supplemented with arginine and glutamic acid). Store at 2-3 weeks at -20°C, -80°C long term Notes & Usage Guidelines: Please note: After thawing, VLP’s tend to sediment to the bottom of the tube and appear as aggregate pellet. VLP’s can be resuspended by gentle vortexing or by pipetting up and down, before use. Also, subaliquoting is recommended to avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles
