NP Antibody : FITC (OAPB00947-FITC)

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.

This antibody is specific for the seasonal H1N1 influenza NP and will not recognize the corresponding NP sequence from the swine-origin H1N1 influenza (A/California/14/2009 (H1N1) ) .

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