Reference sheet · Viral Peptides · CPC catalog code COVD-009
Reference standards in the Viral Peptides class are typically shipped as lyophilized powder and stored desiccated at −20 °C protected from light. Once reconstituted in bacteriostatic water or the assay-appropriate buffer, aliquot and store at −80 °C to minimize freeze–thaw cycles. Confirm handling requirements against your institutional biosafety and radiation protocols before use.
UCI-1 (University of California, Irvine Coronavirus Inhibitor-1) sits within the Viral Peptides research class (CPC reference COVD-009). Viral peptides map to functional regions of viral proteins — fusion peptides, receptor-binding domains, protease cleavage sites, and immunodominant epitopes — enabling targeted studies of entry, replication, and immune recognition. Investigators typically incorporate UCI-1 (University of California, Irvine Coronavirus Inhibitor-1) as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. Pseudovirus entry, plaque-reduction, protease-activity, and ELISA readouts.
UCI-1 (University of California, Irvine Coronavirus Inhibitor-1) (CPC catalog code COVD-009) is a synthetic viral / antiviral research peptide in the viral peptides category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.
Published and internal research programs use UCI-1 (University of California, Irvine Coronavirus Inhibitor-1) as a reference standard in viral peptides workflows — for example, viral fusion and entry-inhibitor screening and viral protease activity and inhibitor discovery. Human clinical evidence is not established.
No. UCI-1 (University of California, Irvine Coronavirus Inhibitor-1) is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.
In a viral peptides workflow, UCI-1 (University of California, Irvine Coronavirus Inhibitor-1) is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. Pseudovirus entry, plaque-reduction, protease-activity, and ELISA readouts.
Other reference standards in the same class — commonly cross-referenced during assay design and comparator selection.
