NATIVE MUMPS VIRUS Antigen (OOSA09768)

Catalog No: OOSA09768 (Formerly GWB-7ED513)

Size:1ml

Mumps virus is a member of the Paramyxoviridae family and is the causative agent of mumps. Mumps is most typically characterised by painful swelling of the salivary glands and fever. In some adult men, the virus might also infect the testicles, rarely causing sterility. The virus is spread by airborne droplets from the nose or throat and can have an incubation period of up to three weeks. Infected individuals are contagious from approximately 6 days before until about 9 days after the onset of symptoms. The disease is self-limiting and treatment involves controlling specific symptoms. An effective vaccine exists and may be given separately or as part of the MMR vaccine

• Predicted Species Reactivity: Viral
• Product Format: Liquid Culture medium 1969B
• Application: ELISA
• Reconstitution and Storage: Store at -70°C.
  Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
  This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the protein. Expires 12 months from date of dispatch.
• Source: Mumps virus, Enders strain, cultured in BSC-1 cells
• Concentration: Varies by lot. See vial for concentration.
• Biological Activity: Antigenic activity is 51.1% of internal reference batch.
• Application Info: OOSA09768 should be sonicated immediately before use to ensure the preparation is uniform. The product may be used in a variety of immunoassay formats or may be further purified to meet the requirements of a particular assay format.
• Predicted Homology Based on Immunogen Sequence: Viral
• Warning: This product has been rendered inactive by standard procedures. However, this material should still be handled as infectious and should be disposed of appropriately.
• Preparation: Optimally infected cells are harvested, disrupted by sonication in culture medium and subjected to low speed centrifugation. The supernatant from the infected culture is concentrated by crossflow ultrafiltration. The antigen preparation is inactivated using gamma radiation, which primarily damages viral genetic material.
