Anti-MMTV env Antibody

This antibody is suitable for Cancer, Enzyme, and Viral research. Mouse mammary tumor virus surface protein binds the virus to the receptor of the host cells triggering transmembrane protein refolding. This activates the fusion peptide and the structure coils and repeats positioning the fusion peptide near the C-terminus region. Inturn increasing close proximity and then fusion of viral and cell membranes. Anti-MMTV is ideal for researchers interested in Cancer, Viral, and Enzyme research.

MMTV was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a full length sequence for mouse mammary tumor virus surface protein tagged with His.

Mouse mammary tumor virus surface protein antibody was prepared from monospecific, delipidated and defibrinated antiserum, with addition of sodium azide to 0.01% and cross adsorbed with 6X HIS. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with MMTV from mouse based on a 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known.

Store vial at -20°C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20°C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Expiration date is one (1) year from date of opening.

Anti-MMTV Antibody has been tested for use in western blotting. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect band approximately 41.2 kDa in size corresponding to MMTV surface protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
