Description
Lateral flow testing sticks used for the semi-quantitative detection of the lentiviral p24 protein, 5 tests.
The gag protein p24 (MW 24kD) is a major structural protein of the HIV capsid, which is required for virus particle assembly. There are approximately 2000 p24 molecules per virus particle, or at a molecule weight of 24 kDa, about 104 virus particles per picogram of p24. HIV-1 p24 measurement is commonly used as an indicator of HIV-1 infection and viral load. Quantitative detection of the HIV-1 p24 has become a standard method for measuring lentiviral titer.
