FIV gp120 Antibody (SU2-3): sc-66006

FIV gp120 Antibody (SU2-3) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects FIV gp120 of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) by western blotting (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), and flow cytometry (FCM). FIV gp120, also known as env/SU, is a critical glycoprotein located on the viral envelope, playing a vital role in the virus′s ability to infect host cells. FIV gp120 facilitates viral entry into target cells by binding to CD4 receptors and co-receptors on the surface of T lymphocytes and other immune cells, which is crucial for viral pathogenicity. The interaction between FIV gp120 and host cell receptors not only initiates infection but also contributes to subsequent immune evasion strategies, ultimately leading to the depletion of CD4+ T cells and immune system collapse. FIV gp120 (SU2-3) antibody is instrumental in research and diagnostic applications, providing valuable insights into FIV infection mechanisms and immune response in affected cats.
