Mouse Anti-Cytomegalovirus gB late Cytoplasmic Antigen

Mouse anti Cytomegalovirus gB Late Cytoplasmic Antigen antibody, clone hCMV34 detects cytomegalovirus glycoprotein B late cytoplasmic antigen. Cytomegalovirus is an enveloped double stranded DNA virus which in humans (HCMV) is commonly known as human herpesvirus 5 (HHV-5).Glycoprotein B (gB) is the main antigenic protein within the envelope of HCMV. It is required for HCMV mediated membrane fusion along with the gH / gL complex. The unprocessed precursor of HCMV gB is 906 amino acids in length, with a MW of approximately 100kDa.Mouse anti Cytomegalovirus gB Late Cytoplasmic Antigen antibody, clone hCMV34 does not react with HSV, VZV or EBV. Reacts with MRC-5 infected cells, but not uninfected cells.Mouse anti Cytomegalovirus gB Late Cytoplasmic Antigen antibody, clone hCMV34 has been used successfully to demonstrate presence of CMV in infected cells by immunofluorescence on paraformaldehyde fixed cell cultures (González-Sánchez et al 2015).
