Anti-Parainfluenza Virus (PIV) Antibody

A goat polyclonal reagent for detecting Parainfluenza Virus antigens, supplied by Antibodies.com as a 500 µl purified IgG fraction. The unconjugated antibody is validated across ELISA, IFA, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry workflows, giving laboratories a single reagent to screen cultured viral isolates, infected cell preparations, and respiratory tissue sections.

Produced by immunizing goats with PIV antigen and purified to reduce non-specific background, the polyclonal format captures multiple epitopes across viral structural proteins. This breadth is particularly valuable when the infecting serotype is unknown or when monitoring antigenic drift in circulating strains, and it complements virus-specific monoclonal panels used in respiratory surveillance programs.

Common applications include diagnostic assay development, respiratory virus surveillance studies, and characterization of PIV replication in cell culture models. The 500 µl volume at standard working dilution supports extended use across many slides, blots, or microplate wells. Store refrigerated at 2 to 8 degrees C; aliquot upon first use and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve activity. For research use only.
