anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein S1 mAb (rec.) (blocking) (Covi-2) (preservative free)

Product description: Recombinant Antibody. Recognizes and binds to recombinant SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein S1. It blocks the interaction of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein S1 (RBD) to human ACE2. Detects a different epitope as anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein S1, mAb (rec.) (blocking) (Covi-1) (Prod. No. AG-27B-6005PF). Applications: ELISA, FUNC (Blocking), WB. Source: HEK 293 cells. Liquid. In PBS. Coronaviruses (CoVs) are enveloped non-segmented positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses and can infect respiratory, gastrointestinal, hepatic and central nervous system of human and many other wild animals. Recently, a new severe acute respiratory syndrome beta-coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2 (or 2019-nCoV) has emerged, which causes an epidemic of acute respiratory syndrome (called coronavirus human disease 2019 or COVID-19). SARS-CoV-2 shares 79.5% sequence identity with SARS-CoV and is 96.2% identical at the genome level to the bat coronavirus BatCoV RaTG133, suggesting it had originated in bats. SARS-CoV-2 contains 4 structural proteins, including Envelope (E), Membrane (M), Nucleocapsid (N) and Spike (S), which is a transmembrane protein, composed of two subunits S1 and S2. The S1 subunit contains a receptor binding domain (RBD), which binds to the cell surface receptor Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) present at the surface of epithelial cells, causing mainly infection of human respiratory cells.
