| Hexon protein is a major coat protein of adenoviruses. Adenoviruses capsids have three principal protein components: the hexon, the penton, and the fiber. Hexon consists of three subunits together forming two major components of different morphological symmetry. A triangular top with three towers of density is superimposed on a more bulky pseudo hexagonal base. The symmetry of the top is in accord with the trimeric nature of hexon, but that of the base derives from the molecular function, which is to provide a densely packed impenetrable protective outer layer for the virion. | | | Catalog # | A0880-03H | | Applications | Specific methodologies have not been tested using this product. | | Recommended Dilution | Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. | | Inactivation | Whole infective virus removed by ultracentrifugation. Confirmation by attempted growth under original culture conditions. | | Storage and Stability | Aliquot and store at -20°C or lower. Avoid multiple freez-thaw cycles. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. | | Note | No test guarantees a product to be non-infectious. All materials should be handled as if potentially infectious. Generally accepted laboratory practices appropriate for infectious materials should be employed when handling this product. | | Source | Vero cell culture strain: Adenoid 6, ATCC #VR-846 | | Purity | Harvested infected cells are treated to remove cellular components and ultracentrifuged to remove whole virus particules.
