Purified recombinant HIV1 gp160 (HRP)
Background:
The "env" gene in HIV encodes a single protein, gp160. gp160 travels to the cell surface, where cellular enzymes again attack it, this time chopping into two pieces - gp120, and gp41. If and when new virus particles bud off from the host cell, these two pieces lie on opposite sides of the virus membrane. gp120 sits on the outside of the virus particle, forming the virus's spikes, while gp41 sits just on the inside of the membrane - each gp41 being anchored to a gp120 through the membrane.
