Invitrogen™ SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (HL344)

Description

This antibody detects SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein, but does not cross-react with SARS-CoV or MERS-CoV nucleocapsid proteins based on our internal testing.

SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Protein is associated with nucleic acid. It is the most abundant protein for coronavirus. Because of the strong immunogenicity of coronavirus Nucleocapsid, it is believed that SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Protein has potential value for the diagnosis of the virus. The SARS-CoV-2 N protein is an abundant RNA-binding protein critical for viral genome packaging, yet the molecular details that involve this process are poorly understood. N protein contains three dynamic disordered regions that house putative transiently-helical binding motifs. The two folded domains interact minimally such that full-length N protein is a flexible and multivalent RNA-binding protein. SARS-CoV-2 causes illnesses ranging from the common cold to severe diseases.
