Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus transmitted primarily by Aedes mosquitoes and generally only causes mild symptoms in infected people. However, infection during pregnancy can cause microcephaly and other congenital abnormalities and can also pregnancy complications such as fetal loss, stillbirth, and preterm birth. Diagnosis is by molecular testing for acute infections or serologic assays detecting an IgM response for recent infections.
ZERO-X-REACT Zika Envelope Rec-Ag Zika Virus Envelope Recombinant Antigen mutated to eliminate cross reactivity with other flaviviruses. Product contains Histidine tag. Reacts with both IgG and IgM.
Zika Virus NS1 Recombinant Zika Virus Non-Structural Protein 1 Recombinant Product contains Histidine tag. Reacts with both IgG and IgM. The NS-1 is a large, highly conserved protein.
Zika Virus Envelope Recombinant Product contains Histidine tag. Reacts with both IgG and IgM. The E protein composes the majority of the virion surface and it is involved with replication, such as host cell binding and membrane fusion. Covers the ectodomain of the envelope proteins. M.W. on 12.5% SDS-PAGE is ~50Kd. The sequence of the envelope protein is derived from the African strain (all strains share very high identity in this region). The amino acid sequence is proprietary.
