SARS Envelope Antibody : FITC (OAPB00318-FITC)

The immunogen for anti-SARS Envelope antibody: antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids at the carboxy-terminus of the SARS envelope protein.

All conjugated antibodies should be stored in light-protected vials or covered with a light protecting material (i.e. aluminum foil) . Conjugated antibodies are stable for at least 12 months at 4C. If longer storage is desired (24 months), conjugates may be diluted with up to 50% glycerol and stored at -20C to -80C. Freezing and thawing conjugated antibodies will compromise enzyme activity as well as antibody binding.

SARS envelope antibody can be used for the detection of SARS envelope protein in ELISA. It will detect 10 ng of free peptide at 1 ug/ml. (Optimal dilution should be determined by user)
