Varicella Zoster Virus NP Antibody (NCP-1): sc-58072

Varicella Zoster Virus NP Antibody (NCP-1) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects the Varicella Zoster Virus NP protein of Varicella Zoster Virus Ellen strain origin by immunoprecipitation (IP) and immunofluorescence (IF). Anti-Varicella Zoster Virus NP antibody (NCP-1) is available as the non-conjugated format. Varicella Zoster Virus, commonly referred to as VZV, is a significant human pathogen responsible for two major diseases: childhood chickenpox (varicella) and shingles (zoster). Understanding the structure of Varicella Zoster Virus NP protein is crucial, as VZV NP plays a vital role in viral replication and immune response evasion. Varicella Zoster Virus NP protein serves as a key component of the viral nucleocapsid, providing structural integrity and protecting the viral genome. VZV NP protein interaction with other viral proteins is essential for new virion assembly and aids in viral genome transport into the host cell nucleus. Varicella Zoster Virus NP protein′s ability to form complexes with other viral proteins enhances viral capacity to manipulate host cellular machinery, facilitating efficient viral replication. Using Varicella Zoster Virus NP (NCP-1) monoclonal antibody in research can provide valuable insights into VZV pathogenesis mechanisms and contribute to developing targeted therapies for VZV-related diseases.
