		Technical Data
R1600-13	Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)

Description:
RSV is so named from the formation of syncytia, or multinucleated masses of fused cells. Two virally specified surface glycoproteins are prominent in RSV. The large glycoprotein is designated G and the other fusion protein is designated F. In addition, two distinct groups may be present in RSV, Group A and/or Group B.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA, Fusion Inhibition, and Immunofluorescence. Excellent for soild phase application. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilutions:
ELISA: 1:10,000
Fusion Inhibition: > 1:256
IFA: 1:480
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
