Anti-Cytomegalovirus (CMV-UL84) Antibody

Targeting the UL84 regulatory protein of Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV), this mouse IgG2a monoclonal antibody from Antibodies.com is supplied as a 500 µg Protein G-purified reagent in unconjugated vial format. UL84 is a nuclear phosphoprotein that functions as a transactivator of immediate-early viral gene expression and physically engages the viral DNA polymerase processivity factor UL44 during lytic replication. The clone is validated for Western blot and immunofluorescence assay (IFA) workflows, supporting studies of HCMV genome replication, latency-reactivation dynamics, and the recruitment of host nuclear factors such as ND10/PML components to viral replication compartments. Researchers should titrate working dilutions empirically for each detection platform; short-term storage at 4 °C is appropriate for routine use, with aliquots recommended for long-term freezer storage at -20 °C to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
