Anti-Avian Influenza A M2 (RABBIT) Antibody - 600-401-Z06
Avian Influenza A M2 Antibody,
Rabbit
Polyclonal
IgG
Target Details
Virus
Conjugated Peptide
Anti-M2 antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a 13 amino acid synthetic peptide from N-terminus of H5N1 M2.
Anti-Avian Influenza A M2 Antibody was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. Cross reactivity with Avian Influenza A M2 from other sources has not been determined.
Application Details
ELISA
Anti-Avian Influenza A M2 Antibody has been tested for use in ELISA. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band at approximately 11 kDa in Western Blots of specific cell lysates and tissues.

Influenza A virus is a major public health threat, killing more than 30, 000 people per year in the USA. Novel influenza virus strains caused by genetic drift and viral recombination emerge periodically to which humans have little or no immunity, resulting in devastating pandemics. Influenza A can exist in a variety of animals; however, it is in birds that all subtypes can be found. These subtypes are classified based on the combination of the virus coat glycoproteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) subtypes. During 1997, an H5N1 avian influenza virus was determined to be the cause of death in 6 of 18 infected patients in Hong Kong. The more recent virulent strain of H5N1 is now seen in Africa and Europe, as well as in Southeast Asia. There is some evidence of human to human spread of this virus, but it is thought that the transmission efficiency was fairly low. The influenza membrane ion channel (M2) is a small transmembrane protein that regulates the pH inside the virion during viral entry into the cell and protects the newly synthesized hemagglutinin during their transport through low pH cellular compartments. It has been suggested as a target of neutralizing antibodies.
