NS Antibody : FITC (OAPB00945-FITC)

The immunogen for anti-H1N1 Nonstructural Protein 1 antibody: antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide from. The seasonal Influenza NS1 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.

NS1 antibody can be used for the detection of the NS1 protein from the H1N1 strain of Seasonal Influenza A in ELISA. (Optimal dilution should be determined by user)
