Nucleoprotein/NP (RABV)

The ​​Anti-Rabies Virus Nucleoprotein Antibody​​ targets the ​​nucleoprotein (N protein)​​ of rabies virus (RABV), a structural protein essential for viral replication. The N protein encapsidates the viral RNA genome, forming the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex that serves as the template for transcription and replication by the viral polymerase. This antibody is typically generated using recombinant N protein as an immunogen and purified via affinity chromatography. It is widely used for ​​detecting rabies virus in diagnostic assays​​ such as immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and ELISA, aiding in the identification of viral inclusions like Negri bodies in infected neural tissues. Its specificity supports research on viral pathogenesis and host immune responses.
