Anti-Metapneumovirus Fusion Protein [hMPV24]

Invented at University of Newcastle upon Tyne

Info

Catalogue Number 151640
Applications IHC IF WB
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets Metapneumovirus Fusion Protein
Reactivity Virus
Relevance Monoclonal antibody which can identify human metapneumovirus via immunofluorescent staining and does not cross react to other cell cultures

Background and Research Application
Anti-hMPV monoclonal antibody which can identify and locate the fusion glycoprotein of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) of both types A and B, within a sample.
hMPV is a negative single stranded RNA virus of the paramyxoviridae family and can cause upper and lower respiratory tract infections. Discovered in 2001, there appear to be 4 lineages of the hMPV virus, stemming from sub-groups A and B.Anti-hMPV24 can recognise the fusion protein of all 4 lineages(A1,A2, B1 and B2). Anti-hMPV24 be also used in conjunction with other hMPV antibody clones to detect all strains of the virus.
Anti-hMPV24 was created to diagnose hMPV infection in respiratory specimens via immunofluorescence staining with optimal staining of clinical samples with low backgrounds on uninfected specimens.
Host Mouse
Immunogen Human MPV strain NCL-145
