General Notes
Mouse anti Respiratory syncitial virus, major surface glycoprotein G antibody, clone 8C5 recognizes the major glycoprotein G of Respiratory Syncytial virus (RSV). RSV is a 100-350 nm enveloped virus belonging to the Paramyxoviridae,genus Pneumovirus, that causes minor respiratory infections in adults and bronchitis and bronchopneumonia in children. Its genome consists of single stranded, negative sense RNA that encodes three envelope glycoproteins, a small hydrophobic (SH) protein of unknown function, a major glycoprotein (G) known as the attachment protein, and a fusion (F) protein.
