Anti-Cytomegalovirus (CMV-ICP22) Antibody

Available through Antibodies.com, this monoclonal reagent targets the ICP22 delayed-early nuclear protein of Cytomegalovirus and is supplied as a 500 µg aliquot of Protein G-purified antibody in 10 mM Phosphate Buffered Saline, pH 7.4. The antibody is produced in mouse as an IgG isotype and is unconjugated, making it suitable for standard immunodetection workflows without the need for a directly coupled reporter. It is validated for Western blot (WB) and immunofluorescence (IFA) applications, supporting both denatured protein analysis on membranes and visualization of viral antigen in infected cells. Predicted species reactivity is Cytomegalovirus, and the recommended long-term storage is at -20°C with aliquoting to avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, while short-term handling can be performed at 4°C. Researchers investigating herpesvirus gene regulation, viral promoter repression, or CMV latency will find this reagent particularly useful for studies targeting the HWLF1/ICP22 gene product, which is secreted from infected cells as a soluble protein and plays a critical role in modulating both viral and cellular transcription. Provided as a research-use-only primary antibody, it is appropriate for laboratory workflows that require a well-characterized monoclonal against this conserved CMV antigen.
