Anti-VP16 antibody produced in rabbit, IgG fraction of antiserum, buffered aqueous solution

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

Anti-VP16 recognizes VP16 fusion proteins by immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation. It is used to study the effect of sialic acid on herpes simplex virus type 1 envelope glycoproteins. It is also used to study if self-association of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus nucleoprotein is mediated by its N-terminal region and is not required for its anti-interferon function.

General description

Anti-VP16 is produced in rabbit using a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 474-487 of the herpes simplex virus VP16 protein, conjugated to KLH via an N-terminal added cysteine residue. Whole antiserum is fractionated and further purified by ionexchange chromatography to provide the IgG fraction of antiserum that is essentially free of other rabbit serum proteins.
