Anti-Zika Virus Envelope (E) Protein Antibody
This rabbit polyclonal antibody was generated against a polypeptide corresponding to the envelope (E) protein of Zika virus and recognizes ZIKV E protein.
Highlights:
- Reacts with Zika Virus E protein
- Suitable for Western Blot and Immunofluorescence applications
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a member of the virus family Flaviviridae and the genus Flavivirus, transmitted by daytime-active Aedes mosquitoes. Zika is related to other mosquito transmitted viruses such as dengue, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and west nile. Similar to other flaviviruses, ZIKV is enveloped and icosahedral and has a nonsegmented, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genome. Common symptoms of infection with the virus include mild headaches, maculopapular rash, fever, malaise, conjunctivitis, and joint pains. Zika has been shown to cause microcephaly in babies exposed in utero.
