Rift Valley Fever Virus Antibody: Rift Valley Fever (RFV) virus is an arthropod-borne virus endemic to Africa that infects humans and animals that is transmitted predominantly by mosquitoes. During human infections, symptoms can range from benign fever to severe encephalitis and fatal hepatitis with hemorrhagic fever. The Bunyaviridae family of viruses to which the RVF virus belongs are spherical enveloped viruses with a tripartite RNA genome of negative or ambisense polarity. The three segments are referred to as the L, M, and S segments. The L and M segments are negative polarity and code fore the L-dependent RNA polymerase and glycoprotein precursor respectively. The S segment is of ambisense polarity and encodes the nucleoprotein and non-structural proteins. This RVF virus antibody was derived from a peptide sequence near the carboxy terminus of the polyprotein precursor translated from the M segment. It will therefore detect both the precursor and the Glycoprotein G2.

RVF virus antibody was raised against a 19 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of the RVF virus.

Rift Valley Fever Virus Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.

Rift Valley Fever Virus Antibody is supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.

RVF virus antibody can detect 10ng RVF virus peptide in ELISA at 1 g/mL.

Rift Valley Fever Virus antibody can be stored at 4 C for three months and -20 C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
