Human Papillomavirus Type 16 (HPV16) Specific ELISA Kit

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the major cause of cervical cancer and genital warts, which occur through the persistent infection of the proliferating cells of the epithelium. HPV is a non-enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus with a T = 7 icosahedral capsid composed of 72 L1 pentamers (capsomeres) paired with L2 monomers.HPV L1-only virus-like particles (VLPs) have been obtained from different expression systems, and can induce a strong immune response against HPV infection. Currently, commercially available prophylactic HPV vaccines are in the form of VLP. A rapid and effective assay kit detecting the levels of HPV L1 is urgently needed to accelerate the development of HPV vaccines.

1. Unopened kit should be stored at 2°C-8°C upon receiving. 2. Find the expiration date on the outside packaging and do not use reagents past their expiration date. 3. The opened kit should be stored per components table. The shelf life is 30 days from the date of opening.

This assay kit employs a standard sandwich-ELISA format, providing a rapid detection of HPV16 L1. The kit consists of Pre-coated Anti-HPV16-L1 Antibody Microplate and HPV16-L1 Standard,HRP-Anti-HPV16-L1 Antibody and buffers.
