Recombinant Human adenovirus C serotype 2 (HAdV-2) Early E3 18.5 kDa glycoprotein (18-123 aa) was expressed in E. coli with a 10xHis-tag at the N-terminus and a Myc-tag at the C-terminus. The biological activity was determined by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. This product can be used in ELISA, WB, IP.
This protein binds and retains class I heavy chains in the endoplasmic reticulum during the early period of virus infection, thereby impairing their transport to the cell surface. Also delays the expression of class I alleles that it cannot affect by direct retention. Binds transporters associated with antigen processing (TAP) and acts as a tapasin inhibitor, preventing class I/TAP association. In consequence, infected cells are masked for immune recognition by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes.
