Adeno-Associated Virus 2, VP1 (AAV2)

Lyophilized powder may be stored at 4 °C for short-term only. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile 40-50% glycerol and store at -20 °C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months 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.<br>

Antigen recognized in Species AAV-2, found in human and monkey (tested so far). Weak crossreaction with serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Reacts with VP1 of adeno-associated virus. In immunoprecipitation, an occasional reaction with a non-AAV-derived protein is found. Epitope mapping experiments identified aa123 to aa131 of VP1 capsid protein as the specific binding region.
