Contributor Information

  • Name Ayham Alnabulsi
  • Institute Vertebrate Antibodies Limited

Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-RSV F Glycoprotein [4-15]
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Virus
  • Host: Mouse
  • Molecular weight of the target: The protein molecular weights were determined by co-electrophoresis with standard protein markers obtained from Sigma, their locations are marked on the figure. See also: “Positive control”.
  • Application: ELISA ; IHC ; IF ; WB
  • Strain: Balb/c
  • Description: Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a major cause of lower respiratory tract illness and is the chief cause of hospitalization for respiratory tract illness in young children.The glycoprotein F is located on the surface of viral envelope, its function is to induce fusion of viral envelope with host-cell envelope resulting in syncytium formation. The glycoprotein F (also named VP70, F0 or fusion protein) consists of two components: F1 (also named VPG48) and F2 (also named VGP26) held together by disulphide bonds. The reported molecular weight of the VGP26 component varies between 20 to 26 kDa. On the basis of the reactivity of this antibody and the antibodies: clone 4-14 (cat number: 151851) and clone 3-5-18 (cat number: 151850), the existence of two antigenic types of human RS virus was identified, Gimenez et al. (1986). This antibody reacts with the F protein from both RS virus group A and B. It does not cross-react with other RSV proteins.
  • Immunogen: The immunogen was gradient purified and UV inactivated RSN2 virus (subgroup B). The procedure used to produce this antibody is described in Gimenez et al. (1984).
  • Isotype: IgG1 kappa, faint IgG2b
  • Research area: Microbiology
  • Myeloma used: P3X63Ag8.653

  • For Research Use Only
