CMV ICP22 Antibody (6F12) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects the CMV ICP22 protein of CMV origin by western blotting (WB) and immunofluorescence (IF). Anti-CMV ICP22 antibody (6F12) is available as the non-conjugated format. Cytomegalovirus (CMV), a member of the herpes virus family, includes other well-known viruses such as herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, Varicella Zoster Virus, and Epstein Barr virus. These viruses can remain dormant in the body for extended periods, posing risks to immunocompromised individuals. In humans, CMV is referred to as HCMV or human herpesvirus 5 (HHV-5), which typically causes mild symptoms in healthy adults but can lead to severe complications in those with weakened immune systems. CMV ICP22 protein, also known as HWLF1, is a delayed early nuclear viral protein that is secreted from infected cells as a soluble protein. The gene encoding CMV ICP22 is located in the S component of the CMV genome, and CMV ICP22′s function is critical as CMV ICP22 represses both viral and cellular promoters and enhancers, thereby playing a significant role in the regulation of viral gene expression. Understanding CMV ICP22′s function is essential for developing therapeutic strategies against CMV infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients.
