Description Zika virus (ZIKV), a Flaviviridae family member transmitted to humans by mosquitoes of the genus Aedes, was first isolated in Africa in 1947. It has been found to commonly circulate in tropical regions in Africa and Asia. As a member of the Flaviviridae family, ZIKV has a single positive sense RNA genome, which is initially translated as a single polyprotein which is then cleaved post-translationally into three structural proteins (C, PrM or M, and E) and seven nonstructural (NS) proteins (NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B and NS5). NS1 is required for viral replication inside cells and is also secreted into the extracellular space as a hexameric lipoprotein particle, which is involved in immune evasion and pathogenesis by interacting with components from both the innate and adaptive immune systems. There is growing evidence that Zika virus infections may be linked to fetal and newborn microcephaly and serious neurological complications, such as Guillain Barré syndrome. NS1 is the major antigenic marker for viral infection. To date, no clinically approved vaccines or therapeutics are available to prevent and control of Zika virus infection. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to Zika Virus NS1, aa792-1144, expressed in Insect cells. Molecular Weight: ~50kD Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Lateral Flow. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: 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. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
