Cat. No. | MABL-3593 |
Name | Anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid mabs |
Clone No. | mBG86 |
From | Recombinant Antibody |
Isotype | Engineer antibody |
Application | WB, ELISA, IF |
Species Reactivity | SARS-CoV-2 |
Basic Information | |
Specificity | mBG86 is specific to SARS-CoV-2 N protein and does not react with the SARS-CoV N protein or other similar N proteins (such as MERS-CoV, HuCoV-OC43, HuCoV-NL63, HuCoV-HKU1 and HuCoV-229E N). Western blot analysis with truncated fragments of N protein suggested that its epitope resides in AA133- 179. |
Alternative Name | NP; nucleoprotein; NC; Protein N; Nucleocapsid protein; SARS-CoV-2 Protein N; SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid protein; SARS Coronavirus; SARS-CoV-2; SARS CoV 2; 2019-nCoV; 86 |
UniProt | P0DTC9 |
Immunogen | The original mouse IgG1 version of this antibody was raised by immunizing BALB/c mice with a recombinant SARS-Cov-2 N protein corresponding to AA133-419. |
Application Notes | Specificty of the original mouse IgG1 version of this antibody to SARS-CoV-2 was confirmed by ELISA (Terry et al., 2021; pmid: 33714753). mBG86 is a particularly useful antibody as it can be used to detect SARS-Cov-2 N protein and differentiate it from SARS-CoV. Western blot analysis demonstrated that this antibody exhibits two band labeling, suggesting a specificity for conformational epitopes on the N protein (Terry et al., 2021; pmid: 33714753). This antibody was shown to detect SARS- CoV-2 N protein in methanol-stained Vero cells by immunofluorescence (Terry et al., 2021; pmid: 33714753). Finally, the original version of mBG86 was demonstrated to be an effective detection antibody in a sandwich ELISA assay suggesting it's potential use in SARS-Cov-2 diagnostics (Terry et al., 2021; pmid: 33714753). |
