Info

Catalogue Number 152651
Applications IP WB
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets S protein of the SARS coronavirus
Reactivity Virus
Relevance Monoclonal antibody used to aid understanding the method of SARS membrane fusion and entry.

Background and Research Application
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is a species of coronavirus known to infect humans, bats, and certain other mammals. The SARS-related coronavirus is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus which enters its host cell by the ACE2 receptor. SARS genome encodes for four structural proteins, namely nucleocaspid (N), spike (S), membrane (M) and envelope (E). The S protein, which forms morphologically characteristic projections on the virion surface, is responsible for binding to cellular receptor and mediating the fusion between viral and cellular membranes. The SΔ3 is a fragment containing residues from 168 to 461 of the S protein. This antibody has use in investigating the mechanism of membrane fusion and virus entry.
