Mouse Anti-SINV E2 Recombinant Antibody (clone R6); Fab Fragment (CAT#: HPAB-S0014-YC-F(E))

1. Q 1: How is the Mouse Anti-SINV E2 Fab Fragment used in research?

   A: The Mouse Anti-SINV E2 Fab Fragment, clone R6, is valuable for research focused on the Sindbis virus (SINV). It is particularly utilized in ELISA assays to detect and quantify the E2 protein of SINV. This application is critical in virology studies, enabling researchers to understand viral pathogenesis and immune responses by tracking viral protein expressions in various experimental conditions.

2. Q 2: What diseases can be studied using the Anti-SINV E2 antibody?

   A: The Anti-SINV E2 antibody targets the Sindbis virus, making it essential for studying diseases related to alphavirus infections. Sindbis virus, although mostly causing mild illnesses in humans, serves as a model for studying other pathogenic alphaviruses. The antibody's role in identifying the E2 protein helps understand viral replication and immune evasion mechanisms, paving the way for therapeutic interventions against viral encephalitis and arthritis.

3. Q 3: What are the stability and storage conditions of the Fab Fragment?

   A: The Mouse Anti-SINV E2 Fab Fragment is stable when stored at +4°C for short-term use (1-2 weeks) and should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C for long-term preservation. It is important to avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles to maintain antibody integrity and functionality. Such stability ensures researchers can rely on consistent performance across multiple experiments.
