MDV Antibody (3G2): sc-73376

MDV Antibody (3G2) is a mouse monoclonal IgM antibody that detects Marek Disease Virus in Marek Disease Virus by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Marek Disease Virus (3G2) antibody plays a crucial role in studying Marek′s disease, a highly contagious viral neoplastic disease affecting birds, particularly chickens. Marek Disease Virus (MDV), a member of the avian herpesvirus family, is known for inducing T cell lymphoma and other severe pathological changes in infected birds. MDV primarily targets T cells, leading to their transformation and proliferation, which is a significant factor in lymphoma development. Understanding the interactions between MDV and host immune cells is vital, as these insights reveal mechanisms of viral pathogenesis and immune response. MDV′s ability to establish latency in CD4+ T-cells complicates the immune response, making vaccine development challenging for both tumor prevention and viral transmission inhibition. Using Marek Disease Virus (3G2) monoclonal antibody in research provides insights into MDV infection dynamics and avian health impact, ultimately contributing to better management strategies for Marek′s disease in poultry populations.
