West Nile Virus MP Antibody - BSA Free

Western Blot: West Nile Virus MP Antibody - BSA Free [NB100-56743] - Analysis of West Nile Virus West Nile Virus MP in (A) untransfected and (B) transfected mouse melanoma cells using NB100-56743 at 1 ug/ml.

Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin: West Nile Virus MP Antibody - BSA Free [NB100-56743] - Analysis of West Nile Virus MP in bird liver using this antibody at 1 ug/ml, incubated for 30 minutes. A Ventana brand second step antibody conjugated to biotin was applied followed with streptavidin-AKP. The substrate was Fast Red chromagen. The antigen retrieval method used to obtain staining: Ventana Protease 2 for three minutes at room temperature with a Parafilm coverslip. (using an autostainer which keeps residual fluid on the slides during every step, so the final concentration is approximately 2.5 times more dilute).

Background

West Nile (WN), the most widespread among flaviviruses, was first isolated from the serum of a febrile woman in 1937 in the West Nile district of Uganda. West Nile virus was first detected in North America in 1999 and has subsequently spread throughout the United States and Canada and into Mexico and the Caribbean. In Africa, southern Europe, western Asia, and the United States, WNV has been isolated from mosquitoes of more than 40 species. In the United States, Canada, and Israel, WNV is responsible for significant avian mortality.
