Description

Metapneumovirus Nucleoprotein Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody for Western Blot, ICC/IF, LF

The Metapneumovirus Nucleoprotein is a key structural protein of the human metapneumovirus (HMPV), a virus belonging to the Paramyxoviridae family that causes respiratory tract infections, particularly in young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. The nucleoprotein (N protein) encapsidates the viral RNA genome, forming a helical ribonucleoprotein complex that is essential for the replication and transcription of the viral RNA. This protein not only protects the viral RNA from degradation but also plays a crucial role in the assembly and release of new viral particles from infected cells. The N protein is highly conserved and immunogenic, making it a significant target for diagnostic assays and vaccine development. Understanding the structure and function of the metapneumovirus nucleoprotein is critical for developing effective antiviral therapies and for advancing our knowledge of HMPV pathogenesis and immune response mechanisms.
