  • Relevance
    West Nile Virus (WNV) is a single-stranded RNA (positive sense) virus of the family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus, commonly found in Africa, West Asia and the Middle East. It causes disease that is characterized by flu-like symptoms. In a small number of cases this can develop into West Nile Encephalitis (infection of the brain and spinal cord). The viral envelope consists of envelope E and membrane M proteins. The roles of the E protein include virion assembly, recognition of cell receptors, cell endosomal membrane fusion, agglutination of red blood cells, and induction of immune responses.

Inquiry: What is the expected molecular weight of the protein. Thank you,



I can confirm that ab48960 Active West Nile Virus (E protein) protein fragment has a molecular weight of approximately 18 kDa.


1. What is the amino acid sequence of this recombinant protein?
2. After over expression in e coli, is any refolding attempted?
3. Have the endotoxin levels been determined for this protein?

1. This is full length protein, however the exact sequence is considered proprietary.
2. Renaturation is performed on the column.
3. The endotoxin level has not been determined

Thank you for that information.
The customer is very interested in this products and would like to test them - do you have samples?

Thank you for your help, kind regards
