Comments
This product is a murine monoclonal antibody (IgG1; kappa light chain) to the HA1 domain of the H9 hemagglutinin of an avian influenza A virus, strain A/guinea fowl/Hong Kong/WF10/99 (H9N2). The source hybridoma was derived by immunization of a BALB/c mouse, followed by fusion of splenocytes from the immunized animal with Sp2/0-Ag14 cells (ATCC CRL-1581). The antibody preparation supplied is affinity purified from serum free supernatants of cultured cells. It is provided at 1 mg/ml in D-PBS with 0.02% sodium azide, 0.1 ml per vial.
Monoclonal antibody 1D8 (ATCC VR-1642) reacts specifically with influenza A virus H9 hemagglutinin by ELISA against recombinant proteins. It does not cross react with other HA types evaluated to date (H1, H2, H3, H5, H7). 1D8 is useful for western blotting and ELISA applications. Its use for immunofluorescence and ability to neutralize virus have not yet been investigated.
