Parainfluenza Virus type 2 Antibody (PIV23): sc-52144

Parainfluenza Virus type 2 Antibody (PIV23) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects Parainfluenza Virus by immunofluorescence (IF). Parainfluenza Virus type 2 monoclonal antibody (PIV23) has proven effective in studying the virus′s unique ability to form filamentous particles in virus-infected, polarized epithelial cells, a characteristic that plays a crucial role in pathogenicity and transmission. The filamentous morphology enhances viral spread between cells, facilitating infection and contributing to the severity of respiratory illnesses such as croup. Understanding the structural dynamics of Parainfluenza Virus type 2 is essential for developing targeted therapies and vaccines, as this knowledge provides insights into viral interactions with host cells and immune response evasion. Anti-Parainfluenza Virus antibody (PIV23) serves as an invaluable tool for researchers studying viral infection mechanisms and host immune responses, enabling advancements in virology and respiratory disease management.
