Monoclonal Anti-Swine H1N1 Hemagglutinin [3E9H5] antibody produced in mouse

Swine H1N1 Hemagglutinin Monoclonal Antibody: Influenza A virus has one of sixteen possible Hemagglutinin (HA) surface proteins and one of nine possible Neuraminidase (NA) surface proteins. In early 2009, a novel H1N1 swine-origin influenza (S-OIV) A virus was identified in specimens obtained from patients in Mexico and the United States. The genetic make-up of this swine flu virus is unlike any other: it is an H1N1 strain that combines a triple assortment first identified in 1998 including human, swine, and avian influenza with two new pig H3N2 virus genes from Eurasia, themselves of recent human origin. This antibody is specific for the novel swine influenza Hemagglutinin and will not recognize the corresponding Hemagglutinin sequence from the seasonal H1N1 influenza (A/Brisbane/59/2007 (H1N1)).

Mouse monoclonal antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide containing the sequence specific to the novel S-OIV A H1N1 strain hemagglutinin protein.

This antibody can be used for the detection of the hemagglutinin protein from the H1N1 strain of S-OIV A in ELISA.

Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
