Meta-Pneumovirus Antibody – Mouse Monoclonal

Metapneumovirus was discovered in 2001 and is distributed worldwide. Infection in the upper respiratory tract is associated with mild illness, while lower respiratory tract infection can cause fever, cough, pneumonia, bronchiolitis and wheezing. Severe lower respiratory tract infection is most common in the very young, the very old and the immunosuppressed. Metapneumovirus is a common cause of respiratory infection.
Phylogenetic analysis has shown two major genotypes, A and B, each containing two sub-divisions, suggesting that four distinct lineages circulate in the population with different lineages predominating in different years. MBS607808 recognizes the fusion protein of all sub-types (A1, A2, B1 and B2) of hMPV and may be used in conjunction with MBS608540, MBS607796, and MBS605957 to detect all strains of hMPV.

Small volumes of anti-Meta-Pneumovirus 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.

MBS607808 is an antibody targeting Meta-Pneumovirus. Also known as Meta-Pneumovirus (Metapneumovirus, hMPV). Host: Mouse.
