PODS® Empty crystals are composed solely of polyhedrin protein. As these PODS® do not contain any cargo protein, they are sold by weight of the polyhedrin protein, rather than cargo weight. This product is intended to be used as a negative control alongside cargo-containing PODS® co-crystals. The cross-reactivity of PODS® Empty crystals has been tested on a variety of cells including mouse ES cells, PC12, fibroblasts, and ETS embryos, and there was no observable interference with the tested cells. Additionally, in-vivo data indicate no inflammatory response to PODS® Empty crystals in animals.
- Length: 250 aa
- Molecular Weight: 28.7 kDa
- Structure: n/a
- Source: Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cell culture
- Accession Number: D37771.1
- Formulation: PODS® were lyophilized from a volatile solution
- Reconstitution: Ensure the PODS® are resuspended in buffer by pipetting up and down immediately before aliquoting. PODS® may be reconstituted at 100 ug/ml in water. 20% glucose has a buoyant density closer to PODS® and can be useful for slowing sedimentation when aliquoting. PODS® are highly stable when stored in aqueous solution (pH range 6 - 8).
- Stability and Storage: Upon receipt, store at 4oC. PODS® co-crystals are stable for at least 1 year when dry and 6 months when resuspended.
