| Product Name | Anti-RSV Subgroup B Phosphoprotein Monoclonal Antibody |
|---|---|
| Description | Immunoblot assays performed in parallel using as antigen 19 clinical RS virus isolates of subgroups A and B (isolated between 1972 and 1984) showed that this antibody reacted only with the phosphoprotein of RS virus subgroup B (Gimenez et al, 1986). RS virus subgroups A and B circulate concurrently in the human population. Infections with RS virus subgroup A are thought to produce more severe disease than infections with RS virus subgroup B. Consequently, it is beneficial for patient management to know early during an RS virus infection whether the patient is infected with RS virus subgroup A or B. Thus, this antibody is relevant for as a diagnostic tool to determine, soon after infection, the specific RS virus subgroup responsible for the RS virus infection. A diagnostic kit protocol is described in Notes. |
