Anti-SARS-CoV-1 purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and western blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 46 kDa in size corresponding to SARS Nucleocapsid (N) protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. This antibody can be useful in ELISA and lateral flow format to detect virus in extracts from nasal and throat swabs and saliva. IF can be been useful to determine the presence or absence of virus entering cells especially when anti-viral drugs are applied. IHC studies can be performed on biopsies, detecting the coronavirus in lung, liver, bile duct, and placenta tissue. And may have the ability to neutralize the virus and thereby protect cells from the uptake of live virus. This antibody may be useful in flow cytometry studies.
