Anti-Parainfluenza Virus type 2 (PIV-2) Antibody

This Mouse monoclonal IgG2a reagent from Antibodies.com targets the nucleoprotein of Parainfluenza Virus type 2 (PIV-2), a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus in the Paramyxoviridae family that is a leading cause of croup and other pediatric lower respiratory tract infections. The unconjugated antibody is supplied as a Protein A purified preparation at 1 mg per vial, suitable for use in ELISA and immunofluorescence staining workflows for viral antigen detection in infected cell cultures, respiratory specimens, and fixed tissue sections. Researchers studying respiratory viral pathogenesis, vaccine development, or diagnostic assay validation rely on this clone's specificity to differentiate PIV-2 from related parainfluenza serotypes. Each lot is validated for consistent performance in direct and indirect ELISA formats and immunofluorescence staining of virus-infected cells, supporting both qualitative screening and quantitative titering. Storage in the supplied buffer preserves antibody activity, with aliquots recommended to limit freeze-thaw cycles that can degrade IgG binding capacity. The reagent is intended for research use only and is not approved for diagnostic or therapeutic applications in humans.
