Protein Concentration
25µg size is bottled at 0.2mg/mL concentration. 100 µg size is supplied at a lot-specific concentration.
Storage and Handling
Briefly centrifuge the vial upon receipt. An unopened vial can be stored at 4°C for up to 2 weeks, or at -20°C or below for up to six months. The protein may be further diluted to 0.1 mg/mL using 0.22 µm-filtered PBS buffer (pH 7.4). For long-term storage, the diluted stock solution should be aliquoted and stored at ≤ –70°C to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. If additional dilution is required, carrier proteins such as FBS or BSA should be added to maintain protein stability.
Background Information
The receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 is a critical region of the spike (S) protein that directly interacts with the human ACE2 receptor to facilitate viral entry into host cells. It is located within the S1 subunit of the spike protein and adopts a compact, globular structure stabilized by disulfide bonds. Due to its essential role in viral entry, the RBD is a primary target for neutralizing antibodies, vaccines, and therapeutic interventions. Mutations in the RBD—seen in various SARS-CoV-2 variants—can increase binding affinity to ACE2 or help evade immune responses. The N501Y mutation enhances the virus's ability to bind to the ACE2 receptor, likely contributing to increased transmissibility.
