Rabies virus Nucleoprotein ELISA Kit

Rabies virus (RABV), scientific name Rabies lyssavirus, is a deadly neurotropic virus that causes rabies in humans and animals. Rabies virus has an extremely wide host range and its transmission most often occur through the saliva of animals. Without intervention prior to disease progression, rabies has the highest case fatality of any infectious disease. RABV contains a single-stranded negative-sense R genome that encodes five structural proteins: nucleoprotein (N), phosphoprotein (P), matrix protein (M), glycoprotein (G), and R-dependent R polymerase (L). Among these viral proteins, the RABV glycoprotein (RABV-G) is a pivotal player mediating virus entry and the major target of neutralizing antibodies, thus a key factor for vaccine and drug design. A rapid and effective assay kit detecting the levels of RABV-N is urgently needed to accelerate the development of RABV vaccines.

1. Unopened kit should be stored at 2°C-8°C upon receiving. 2. Find the expiration date on the outside packaging and do not use reagents past their expiration date. 3. The opened kit should be stored per components table. The shelf life is 30 days from the date of opening.

This assay kit employs a standard sandwich-ELISA format, providing a rapid detection of Rabies virus Nucleoprotein. The kit consists of Pre-coated Anti-Nucleoprotein (RABV) Antibody Microplate and Nucleoprotein (RABV) Standard and Biotin-Anti-Nucleoprotein (RABV) Antibody and Streptavidin-HRP and buffers.
