Orf Virus Antibody (2E5): sc-101589

Orf Virus Antibody (2E5) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Orf Virus in various species through western blotting (WB) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-Orf Virus antibody (2E5) is specifically designed to recognize unique structural features of Orf virus, a member of the parapoxvirus genus known for large, oval double-stranded DNA composition and distinctive spiral coat. Orf virus is particularly significant due to an ability to infect both livestock, such as sheep and goats, and humans, especially those in close contact with these animals, leading to zoonotic infections. Surface tubules, which form intricate crisscross patterns observable through electron microscopy, play a crucial role in infectivity and immune evasion strategies. Understanding Orf virus structure aids in developing effective vaccines and therapeutic interventions, particularly for vulnerable populations, including immunocompromised individuals who may experience severe complications from infection. Orf Virus (2E5) monoclonal antibody demonstrates robust performance in western blotting (WB) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), serving as an essential tool for researchers studying pathogenesis and epidemiology of this important veterinary and public health concern.
