Anti-Parainfluenza Virus type 1 (PIV-1) Antibody

This mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody from Antibodies.com targets Parainfluenza Virus type 1 (PIV-1), an enveloped, negative-sense RNA virus in the Paramyxoviridae family that is a leading cause of croup and other pediatric respiratory infections. The unconjugated reagent is supplied as a Protein A purified monoclonal antibody at 1 mg per vial, ready for direct labeling or conjugation to detection tags within custom assay workflows.

Validated applications include ELISA and IFA (immunofluorescence assay), supporting viral antigen detection in infected cell cultures, respiratory specimen research, and characterization of PIV-1 isolates. As a monoclonal reagent, it offers lot-to-lot consistency and defined specificity, which is particularly valuable when distinguishing PIV-1 from related paramyxoviruses such as PIV-2, PIV-3, and PIV-4.

The mouse IgG2a isotype is compatible with most anti-mouse IgG secondary reagents and isotype-specific detection systems. Researchers working on vaccine development, antiviral screening, or respiratory virus surveillance can apply this reagent in immunohistochemistry and other immunological methods once they have validated the format in their own experimental setup. For handling, refrigerate on arrival and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve binding activity over the shelf life of the vial.
