DESCRIPTION

Binds to 55 kDa of BVDV. Made using NADL strain. Binds to most BVDV strains. Does not bind Oregon C24V strain. IgG_2a isotype. Suitable for immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry and virus neutralization. This monoclonal antibody is produced as mouse ascites fluid, clarified by centrifugation, and filtered through a 0.2 micrometer filter. The concentration is 1.0 mg/ml in phosphate-buffered saline, preserved with sodium azide.
