Allergen: | nCor a 9 (Corylus avellana allergen 9) |
Unit: | 250µg |
Source: | 11S globulin from hazelnut. |
Mol. Wt: | Multiple subunits ranging from 30 to 59 kD |
Purification: | Purified from hazelnut extract by multi-step HPLC. |
Concentration: | See product insert. |
Formulation: | Preservative and carrier-free in 1M NaCl, PBS pH 7.40. Filtered through 0.22µm filter. |
Storage: | Store at -20ºC. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles |
Notes: | (1) 11S globulins are synthesized as single peptide chain precursors that are cleaved post-translationally. (2) Solubility of Cor a 9 is dependent on the presence of at least 1M NaCl. |
