Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Type 2 (BVDV-2) MAb Ascites E2 gp53 IgG2a Isotype
BA-29
Binds to the E2 (gp53) protein of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Type 2 (BVDV-2). IgG2a isotype. Can be used as a typing reagent for BVDV-2 using indirect immunofluoresence or indirect immunoperoxidase reactions. This monoclonal antibody is produced as mouse ascites fluid, clarified by centrifugation, and filtered through a 0.2 micrometer filter. The concentration is 1.0 mg/ml in phosphate-buffered saline, preserved with sodium azide. Note: BVDV-1 genotypes usually produce only mild diarrhea in immunocompetent cattle, while BVDV-2 genotypes can produce thrombocytopenia, hemorrhages, and acute fatal disease. The viruses of either genotype may exist as one of two biotypes, cytopathic or noncytopathic.
