HIS
Molecular Weight Information
Determined by SDS-PAGE, the protein band runs between molecular markers of 25,000 and 35,000 Da, while relative molecular mass calculated from amino acid sequence is 32,272.5 Da.
Observation Notes
Proteins should be maintained frozen at high concentrations. The dilution to be performed for ELISA assays should be made with a small quantity of protein, the same day of the experiment. In order to defrost the protein, maintain the aliquot at 25 degree C without shaking to avoid aggregation. Prior making test dilutions and after defrost the protein, is recommended to remove possible protein aggregates by centrifuging the stock solution, avoiding alterations in the immobilization of the biomolecule to the solid surface.
Buffer
20 mM phosphate buffer pH 8, 10 mM NaCl, 0.1% polyoxyethylene (10) tridecyl ether, 250 mM Imidazol, 8 M urea
Batch Composition
Recombinant antigen with a his-tag in its N-terminus
Storage Buffer
20 mM phosphate buffer pH 8, 10 mM NaCl, 0.1% polyoxyethylene (10) tridecyl ether, 250 mM Imidazol, 8 M urea
Reconstitution
For lyophilized proteins: with 0.04 ml of sterile double-distilled water (lot specific) for a final concentration of 1.59 mg/ml (lot specific). The protein will be at pH 8.
Preparation and Storage
Lyophilized protein is shipped with on ice packs. Upon arrival, it should be stored at 20 degree C to -80 degree C. Aliquot after reconstitution in order to avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles and store at 20 degree C to -80 degree C.

Product Notes
The opa gene (Catalog #AAA72853) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's opa gene can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, WB (Western Blot). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the opa gene for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "opa gene, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
