CV4001: SARS Nucleocapsid Protein Antibody
Lifesensors CV4001 is a high-quality antibody detecting SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid proteins via ELISA and Western blot for precise viral research.
Detection of nucleocapsid protein in serum samples
Within the last two decades, SARS and MERS coronaviruses emerged as global health concerns causing severe acute respiratory syndromes. In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was identified in Wuhan, Hubei province in China. The SARS-CoV genome encodes several structural proteins including the nucleocapsid protein (Nucleoprotein; Protein N), which plays a role in virion assembly through its interaction with the viral genome and the membrane protein. This key protein packages the positive strand viral RNA into a helical ribonucleocapsid. The nucleocapsid is a highly conserved and immunogenic viral protein thus representing a valuable tool for diagnostic and vaccine production purposes. The SARS Nucleocapsid Protein Antibody recognizes and binds to both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid proteins.
