ANTI-VSV-GLYCOPROTEIN-AGAROSE ANTIBODY,&

Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Anti-VSV-G Agarose Conjugate is the immunoglobulin fraction of Monoclonal Anti-VSV glycoprotein covalently linked to agarose._x000D_ Specificity_x000D_ The antibody recognizes an epitope containing the five carboxy-terminal amino acids of VSV Glycoprotein. In infected cells, the antibody localizes the immature forms of VSV-G in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and in the cisternae of Golgi complex, as well as mature VSV-G at the cell surface and in the budding virus. The antibody does not stain the secreted form of VSV-G which lacks the membrane and the cytoplasmic domain. This antibody has been used for studies on the role of the cytoplasmic domain on newly-synthesized VSV-G during transfer to the plasma membrane and cell surface, using micro-injected antibody, immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, immunocytochemistry and immunoelectron microscopy. The antibody has been used for the detection, immunoprecipitation and immunocytochemical staining of exogenously introduced constructs tagged with the carboxyl-terminus of VSV-G. This tag does not interfere with the function of the studied protein and can be specifically recognized by the P5D4 antibody without cross-reaction with any endogenous protein._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ synthetic peptide containing the 15 carboxy-terminal amino acids (497-511) of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Glycoprotein (VSV-G), conjugated to KLH._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below._x000D_ Immunoprecipitation (1 paper)_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Supplied as a suspension (1:1,v/v) of beaded agarose in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide as preservative_x000D_ Preparation Note_x000D_ Prepared using cyanogen bromide-activated agarose.
