Influenza A Virus Antibody – Goat Polyclonal

Influenza viruses are enveloped, negative sense single-stranded RNA viruses. These viruses belong to the family of Orthomyxoviridae. There are 4 types of Influenza viruses: A, B, C and Thogotovirus, of which, type A & B are clinically relevant to humans. Influenza A virus consists of two gene segments that encode pre-mRNAs, which upon alternative splicing, produces non-structural protein 1 (NS1) or nuclear export protein (NEP) and matrix M1 and proton channel M2 proteins. On the other hand, six other gene segments encode mRNAs that undergo translation to produce Nucleoprotein (NP), polymerase subunit PA, PB1/PB2, hemagglutinin (HA) and NA. Influenza A viruses are divided into several subtypes depending on the structure of glycoproteins HA and NA on the virion surface. There are 18 subtypes of HA and 11 subtypes of NA, of which, H1N1 and H3N2 are known to infect humans.

Small volumes of anti-Influenza A Virus 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.
