Spike Protein (SARS) Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus referred to as SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV). SARS was first reported in Asia in February 2003. Over the next few months, the illness spread to more than two dozen countries in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia before the SARS global outbreak of 2003 was contained. SARS-CoV is transmitted from person to person by close personal contact such as via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The genomes of these viruses are positive-stranded RNA approximately 27-31kb long. SARS-CoV spike (S) protein has two major biological functions: 1) mediating receptor (angiotensin converting enzyme 2, ACE2) binding and membrane fusion; 2) inducing neutralizing antibody responses.

Small volumes of anti-SARS antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS191597 is an antibody targeting SARS. Also known as SARS Spike Protein Polyclonal Antibody. Reactive in SARS-CoV. Host: Rabbit.
