Recombinant Mouse Anti-PRRSV NP Antibody (VO17) (CAT#: EPAF-0373LC)

1. Q 1: What is the target of Recombinant Mouse Anti-PRRSV NP Antibody (VO17)?

   A: The target of Recombinant Mouse Anti-PRRSV NP Antibody (VO17) is the Nucleocapsid protein from Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). This specificity allows for accurate detection and analysis of PRRSV in research settings.

2. Q 2: How specific is the Recombinant Mouse Anti PRRSV NP Antibody (VO17) to its target?

   A: The antibody is highly specific to the PRRSV NP. Through rigorous testing, it has been shown to have minimal cross reactivity with other proteins. This specificity is important as it ensures accurate detection of PRRSV in research settings. The virus, PRRSV, is associated with reproductive and respiratory problems in pigs (in a research context). The antibody's specific binding to the NP target is a key property for reliable research on PRRSV.

3. Q 3: What is the optimal incubation time when using this antibody in ELISA?

   A: The optimal incubation time in ELISA depends on various factors, but generally, a range of 1 2 hours at the appropriate temperature is recommended. This allows sufficient time for the antibody to bind to the PRRSV NP. The PRRSV, with its NP as the target, is relevant in virology research. The antibody's binding kinetics play a role in determining the optimal incubation time for accurate results.

4. Q 4: Is the Recombinant Mouse Anti PRRSV NP Antibody (VO17) suitable for quantitative analysis?

   A: It can be used for semi-quantitative analysis. By comparing the signal intensity in assays like ELISA or Western blotting, an estimate of the amount of PRRSV NP can be made. The target, PRRSV NP, is important for studying the virus load in a non clinical research sense. The antibody's property of consistent binding enables semi-quantitative analysis.

5. Q 5: Can the Recombinant Mouse Anti PRRSV NP Antibody (VO17) be used to study the evolution of PRRSV?

   A: Yes, it can be used. Since it targets the NP, which may have conserved regions across different PRRSV strains, it can help in analyzing the genetic changes in the virus over time. The PRRSV evolution is an important area of research. The antibody's ability to target the NP makes it a valuable tool in studying the virus's evolution.
