Data Display

The purity of Biotinylated VLP Control is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC.
Background
VLPs are formed by spontaneous interaction between one or more viral structural capsid proteins to form the final structure. VLPs are structurally and visually similar to live viruses but lack either a complete virus genome or lack the entire virus genome. The envelop VLP control is pure viral protein particle structure without the displayed proteins, which can be used as control for the activity assay of the envelope VLP display proteins.
