Anti-Avian Influenza A H7N9 Neuraminidase antibody produced in rabbit

Influenza A virus is a major public health threat, killing more than 30,000 people per year in the USA. Novel influenza virus strains caused by genetic drift and viral recombination emerge periodically to which humans have little or no immunity, resulting in devastating pandemics. Influenza A can exist in a variety of animals; however it is in birds that all subtypes can be found. These subtypes are classified based on the combination of the virus coat glycoproteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) subtypes. H7N9 bird flu is the newest atypical influenza virus infection that has just been reported since early 2013. The emergence of this new strain occurred in China and has become the present focus for possible worldwide pandemic.

Avian Influenza A H7N9 Neuraminidase antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to 11 amino acids near the amino terminus of the H7N9 [Influenza A virus (A/Shanghai/02/2013(H7N9))] Neuraminidase protein.The immunogen is located within amino acids 50 - 100 of Avian Influenza A H7N9 Neuraminidase.

Avian Influenza A H7N9 Neuraminidase antibody can be used for detection of Avian Influenza A H7N9 Neuraminidase by ELISA at 1 μg/ml.

Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
