    CEM15 Antibody (B-2) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 kappa light chain antibody that detects CEM15 protein of mouse and rat origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). CEM15 (B-2) antibody is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. CEM15, also known as APOBEC3G, plays a crucial role in the innate immune response against retroviruses, particularly HIV-1. APOBEC3G functions by deaminating deoxycytosine to deoxyuracil in the minus strand of HIV-1 DNA, leading to G to A hypermutation in the plus strand, which significantly impairs viral replication. This mutagenic activity is vital for controlling viral infections and contributes to the genetic diversity observed in many viruses. Notably, the interaction between APOBEC3G and the viral infectivity factor (Vif) is critical; Vif counteracts the antiviral effects of APOBEC3G by promoting its degradation, thus allowing HIV-1 to evade the host′s immune response. Mouse APOBEC3G remains resistant to Vif, making APOBEC3G a potent inhibitor of wild-type HIV-1 replication, unlike its human counterpart, which is only effective against Vif-deficient strains. This unique characteristic of mouse APOBEC3G highlights its potential as a target for therapeutic strategies aimed at enhancing antiviral responses. APOBEC3G is composed of 429 amino acids and serves as an important model for understanding the mechanisms of viral resistance and the development of antiviral therapies.
