SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD with C-terminal His tag
Protein description
Potential applications of soluble spike proteins
InvivoGen also offers:
• Soluble Spike S1 proteins
• Soluble Nucleocapsid proteins
• Soluble Human ACE2 protein
The SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV) Spike RBD (receptor binding domain) has been identified as the key viral element allowing the virus docking to the target cells. RDB is recognized by the ACE2 surface membrane receptor [1-3]. RBD is a candidate for subunit prophylactic vaccines against SARS-CoVs [4, 5]. RBD is also at the center of therapeutic approaches, such as the development and testing of small peptide inhibitors or soluble ACE2 to block the SARS-CoV-2 entry into target cells [6].
Spike-RBD-His was generated by fusing the C-terminus of SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD [R319-F541] to a poly-histidine sequence (6 x His).
The SARS-CoV-2 viral sequence used is from the Wuhan-Hu-1 (D614) isolate.
This protein has been produced in CHO cells and purified by affinity chromatography (See Details and Specifications for more information).
Applications
- Vaccination studies: using combinations of Spike protein antigens and adjuvants
- Antibody screening: finding anti-Spike antibodies that can neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 infection
- Inhibitor screening: finding small molecules, or antibodies able to block the SARS-CoV-2 RBD interaction with the ACE2 receptor
- ACE2 cellular expression screening: in primary isolated cells or transfected cells
Quality control
- Size and purity confirmed by SDS PAGE
- Protein validated by ELISA using a coated Anti-SARS-CoV-Spike-RBD hIgM mAb (clone CR3022)
