Anti-CHIKV [3E7b]

Invented at A*STAR Accelerate Technologies Pte Ltd

Info

Catalogue Number 153198
Applications ELISA IHC Fn WB
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets N218 epitope on E2 protein of CHIKV
Synonyms Chikungunya virus
Reactivity Virus
Relevance Monoclonal antibody capable of neutralising CHIKV replication and can detect infection of cells.

Background and Research Application
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an alphavirus which causes febrile illness with severe polyarthralgia, known to be transmitted to humans by mosquito vectors, primarily Aedes aegypti and A. albopictus. Symptoms of chikungunya infection generally initiated 4–7 days after the bite of the mosquito vector and usually include high fever, asthenia, chills, headache, diarrhoea, vomiting and rash. CHIKV gained its infamy from the severe outbreak in the Indian Ocean island of La Re’union in 2005-2006, in which 38.2% of the population was infected and 41.5 million people were documented to have experienced haemorrhagic fever manifestations. Since the re-emergence of CHIKV in La Reunion, epidemic outbreaks of CHIKV infection have been reported globally and CHIKV is now considered endemic in 34 countries across Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa.

Anti-CHIKV binds strongly to native CHIKV surface and potently neutralize CHIKV replication.
Host Mouse
