Reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile deionized water. The product concentration should not be less than 100 μg/mL. Before opening, centrifuge the tube to collect powder at the bottom. After adding the reconstitution buffer, avoid vortexing or pipetting for mixing.

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.

Self-assembles to form the virion icosahedral capsid with a T=1 symmetry. This very small capsid (17 - 22 nm in diameter) allows the virus to be very stable in the environment and resistant to some disinfectants, including detergents. Essential for the initial attachment to heparan sulfate moieties and chondroitin sulfate B of the host cell surface proteoglycans. After attachment, the virus is internalized in a clathrin-, caveolae- and dynamin-independent, actin and Rho-GTPase-mediated pathway and traffics to the nucleus. The capsid protein binds and transports the viral genome and Rep across the nuclear envelope.
