A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) containing reconstitution instructions is included with the products. Please refer to the CoA for detailed information.

It is recommended to store recombinant proteins at -20°C to -80°C for future use. Lyophilized powders can be stably stored for over 12 months, while liquid products can be stored for 6-12 months at -80°C. For reconstituted protein solutions, the solution can be stored at -20°C to -80°C for at least 3 months. Please avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles and store products in aliquots.

The Influenza virus matrix protein 1 (M1) is a matrix protein of the influenza virus. M1 protein has been shown to play a crucial role in virus replication, assembly, and budding. It forms a coat inside the viral envelope. This is a bifunctional membrane/RNA-binding protein that mediates the encapsidation of RNA-nucleoprotein cores into the membrane envelope. M1 consists of two domains connected by a linker sequence. The N-terminal domain has a multi-helical structure. The C-terminal domain also contains an alpha-helical structure. The M1 protein is the most abundant structural protein in influenza A virus particles. M1 protein of the influenza A virus plays multiple roles in virion assembly and infection. M1 protein was a candidate antigen for a broad-spectrum influenza virus vaccine and the adjuvant chitosan significantly improved the efficacy of the M1 vaccine.
