Detailed product information

General

Specific applications
produces protein early antigen, diffuse (open reading frame BMRF1)

Characteristics

Comments
Restriction digests of the clone give the following sizes (kb): BglII--6.6, 1.6; EcoRI--8.2; XbaI--8.2.
The insert contains the following restriction sites (approximate kb from the 5' end): BglII--1.34; EcoRI--3.03; HindIII--2.19; KpnI--1.42; NotI--0.91; PstI--0.10, 3.05, 4.23; SacI--3.78; SmaI--0.95, 1.82, 3.84; XbaI--1.96; XhoI--1.79, 3.73.
pHE6 is a high-expression plasmid derived from pUC8. Inserts are expressed as run-on products initiated at lambda N. Synthesis is regulated by the cI857 repressor encoded by the plasmid.
Corresponds to nt 79895-84233 of the GenBank record.
Expresses a 47 kDa fusion polypeptide composed of 33 amino acids from the lambda N protein and the BMRF1 open reading frame. This is recognized by monoclonal antibody R3.
Mycoplasma contamination
Not detected
