Anti-Cytomegalovirus (CMV-gB) Antibody

Targeting the conserved Cytomegalovirus envelope glycoprotein B (gB), this unconjugated Mouse monoclonal IgG reagent from Antibodies.com is supplied as a Protein G purified antibody at 500 µg per vial. Validated for immunofluorescence assay (IFA) workflows, the clone is used to identify CMV-infected cells in culture, map neutralizing epitopes on gB, and characterize viral spread in vitro. Because gB is the principal target of neutralizing antibodies during natural CMV infection, the reagent also supports vaccine development research, including evaluation of candidate immunogens and epitope-mapping studies. The unconjugated format offers flexibility in secondary antibody selection and detection chemistry, accommodating both standard fluorescence microscopy and custom labeling protocols. For handling, aliquot upon receipt, keep refrigerated, and limit freeze-thaw cycles to preserve binding activity; protect from light if the antibody is later conjugated to a fluorophore.
