MOUSE ANTI RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS FUSION PROTEIN

• Storage Conditions:

  Store at 4 °C or at -20 °C if preferred. Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
  Shelf Life: 18 months from date of despatch.

• Specificity:

  This item detects the fusion protein of human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), groups A and B. RSV is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus and is a member of the Paramyxoviridae family. RSV causes respiratory tract infections in patients of all ages, but particularly affects infants and the immunosuppressed.
  
  RSV encodes three envelope glycoproteins, a small hydrophobic (SH) protein of unknown function, a glycoprotein (G) known as the attachment protein, and a fusion (F) protein. The F protein directs fusion of viral and cellular membranes, resulting in viral penetration, and can lead to the formation of syncytia.
  
  The F protein is thought to be the principal antigen responsible for inducing an immune response.
