Product Name

Mouse anti double-stranded RNA (J5)

Description

Over the past decade our double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)antibodies have been used extensively to detect and characterise plant and animal viruses with dsRNA genomes or intermediates. In addition, the anti-dsRNA antibodies can be used as a diagnostic tool to detect pathogens, including detection in paraffin-embedded fixed tissue samples (Richardson et al. 2010)._x000D_ _x000D_ The J5 IgG2b antibody recognizes dsRNA with very similar affinity and specificity to our J2 antibody (see Schonborn et al., 1991), but has a different isotype – thus allowing more flexibility for the simultaneous detection of dsRNA with other markers, particularly in immunofluorescence microscopy, and has been used to detect replicative intermediates of the fish virus Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) (Levican-Asenjo et al., 2019) or of ECMV in Vero cells._x000D_ The J5 antibody can detect all tested forms of dsRNA, including poly(A):poly(U), poly(I):poly(C) and dsRNA from viruses such as Dengue Virus, Encephalomyocarditis Virus, Vaccinia Virus, Reovirus or Cucumber Mosaic Virus. Similarly to our other antibodies dsRNA-binding of J5 is sequence-independent, as long as the length of the dsRNA exceeds 40nt. The antibody does not react with ssRNA, ssDNA or dsDNA. J5 has been tested successfully in nucleic acid ELISA, immunoblotting and immunofluorescence microscopy.

Storage

After reconstitution antibodies should be aliquoted and stored at -20 °C or -70°C. After adding 10 mM sodium azide undiluted antibody can also be stored at +4 °C for a short period of time. For long term storage the mAb should be kept frozen. Repeated freezing/thawing cycles should be avoided. When kept lyophilized the product will remain stable for at least 5 years at -20 °C or -70°C.

Shipping

Ship at ambient temperature.

Product Type

Primary antibodies

Purification

Affinity chromatography on Protein A-agarose.

Concentration

Concentration after reconstitution: 1.00 mg/ml as determined by A280 nm (A280 nm = 1.47 corresponds to 1 mg/ml antibod

Source

Female DBA/2 mice were injected intraperitonially with a mixture of 50 ug L-dsRNA and 75 ug methylated bovine serum albumin, emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant. After several boosts spleen cells were fused with Sp2/0-Agl4 myeloma cells to generate the hybridoma clone.
