Anti-KSHV ORF26

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated Herpes virus (KSHV) belongs to the gamma-(2)-Herpes virus subfamily and has been closely linked to the Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) and multicentric Castleman's disease. The genome of KSHV is 165-170 kb and contains at least 88 open reading frames. KSHV ORF26 open reading frames are juxtaposed and span from nucleotide (nt) 46933 to 47850 of the virus genome. Akula et al (2003) report it acts as a Capsid protein. Applications: Western Bloting: 1:500-1:2000., ELISA: Suggested dilution 1:10000., Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
