COVID 19 & SARS-Cov Spike S1 Coronavirus (COVID-19) Antibody – Human Monoclonal

Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large group of enveloped positive-sense RNA viruses. They belong to subfamily Coronavirinae, in the family of Coronaviridae, of the order of Nidovirales. The Coronavirus genome is about 30kb in length and encodes four structural proteins, namely, spike (S), envelope (E), membrane (M) and nucleocapsid (N), multiple nonstructural proteins and other accessory proteins. The Spike (S) protein is a 180 kDa type I glycosylated transmembrane protein, that assembles as a trimer on the surface of the virus, hence the coronavirus appears crown-shaped (In Latin, corona means crown). The ectodomain of the Spike protein consists of two domains: S1 domain whose main function is receptor binding, and S2 domain whose main function is membrane fusion. S1 binds to the cell surface receptor of host for attachment during the viral entry, this induces conformational change in the S2, thus enabling the fusion of host and viral membranes andultimately entry of the viral genome in the host cell.

Small volumes of anti-COVID-19 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.
