GFP-encoding Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (ΔRL), hTERT-GFP(Cat#: RepOV-0141XY)

This product is a GFP encoding oncolytic herpes simplex virus, which is based on HSV-2 with RL deleted. The deletion lies entirely within the sequences deleted in JH2604 in which only 850 bp are removed from the RL. This product can be used in oncolytic virotherapy research and further recombinant HSV construction.

Specifications

Family Herpesviridae
Species Herpes simplex virus
Serotype Herpes simplex virus 2
Backbone HSV-2 (ΔRL)
Backbone Background Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2), also known as human herpesvirus 1 and 2 (HHV-1 and HHV-2), are two members of the human Herpesviridae family, a set of viruses that produce viral infections in the majority of humans. Modified Herpes simplex virus is considered as a potential therapy for cancer and has been extensively clinically tested to assess its oncolytic ability.

Information

Introduction The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a protein composed of 238 amino acid residues (26.9 kDa) that exhibits bright green fluorescence when exposed to light in the blue to ultraviolet range. Although many other marine organisms have similar green fluorescent proteins, GFP traditionally refers to the protein first isolated from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. The GFP from A. victoria has a major excitation peak at a wavelength of 395 nm and a minor one at 475 nm. Its emission peak is at 509 nm, which is in the lower green portion of the visible spectrum. The fluorescence quantum yield (QY) of GFP is 0.79. The GFP from the sea pansy (Renilla reniformis) has a single major excitation peak at 498 nm. GFP makes for an excellent tool in many forms of biology due to its ability to form internal chromophore without requiring any accessory cofactors, gene products, or enzymes / substrates other than molecular oxygen.
