LCMV Antibody (M104) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects the LCMV protein of LCMV origin by western blotting (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-LCMV antibody (M104) is available as a non-conjugated format, providing researchers with a reliable tool for studying lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), a member of the Arenaviridae family known for causing rodent-borne viral infections such as nonbacterial meningitis and encephalitis. LCMV protein plays a crucial role in the virus′s ability to evade the host immune response, which is vital for survival and propagation within the host. Understanding the function of LCMV protein is essential for developing therapeutic strategies and vaccines, particularly for immunocompromised individuals who are at greater risk of severe disease. LCMV is a reverse strand single-stranded RNA virus primarily transmitted by the common house mouse, and due to resilience to environmental conditions, humans can become infected through various routes, including inhalation of aerosolized particles from rodent excreta or direct contact with infected bodily fluids. LCMV (M104) antibody enables researchers to gain insights into the mechanisms of LCMV pathogenesis and contribute to the advancement of public health measures against this viral threat.
