Description
Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein is a purified preparation of the SARS CoV-2 nucleoprotein.
The nucleoprotein (N) is the most abundant viral protein in SARS-CoV-infected cells (Chang et al. 2014). It is one of the four structural proteins essential for viral assembly, alongside the spike (S), envelope (E), and membrane (M) proteins (Bartlam et al. 2005). The nucleoprotein encloses the viral genome; during assembly of the virion, nucleoprotein binds to viral RNA and forms the helical nucleocapsid and appears to play an important role in enhancing viral transcription (Zhu et al. 2004).
Mouse anti SARS-CoV Nucleoprotein MBS226230 is recommended for use as a capture antibody in ELISA with Mouse anti SARS-CoV Nucleoprotein MBS226231 as a detection antibody
