Anti-Rift Valley Fever Virus Nucleocapsid antibody produced in rabbit

Rift Valley Fever Virus Nucleocapsid Antibody: Rift Valley Fever (RFV) virus is an arthropod-borne virus endemic to Africa that infects humans and animals that is transmitted predominantly by mosquitoes. During human infections, symptoms can range from benign fever to severe encephalitis and fatal hepatitis with hemorrhagic fever. The Bunyaviridae family of viruses to which the RVF virus belongs are spherical enveloped viruses with a tripartite RNA genome of negative or ambisense polarity. The three segments are referred to as the L, M, and S segments. The L and M segments are negative polarity and code fore the L-dependent RNA polymerase and glycoprotein precursor respectively. The S segment is of ambisense polarity and encodes the nucleoprotein and non-structural proteins.

RVF virus nucleocapsid antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid peptide near the center of the RVF virus nucleocapsid.The immunogen is located within amino acids 70 - 120 of Rift Valley Fever Virus Nucleocapsid.

RVF virus nucleocapsid antibody can detect 10ng RVF virus nucleocapsid peptide in ELISA at 1 μg/mL.

Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
