SARS, Spike Protein (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, SARS-CoV, SARS Associated Coronavirus)
Description:
It has recently been shown that SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) is caused by a human coronavirus. Human coronaviruses are the major cause of upper respiratory tract illness, such as the common cold, in humans. Coronaviruses are positive-stranded RNA viruses, featuring the largest viral RNA genomes known toDte (27-31kb). The first step in coronavirus infection is binding of the viral spike protein, a 139kD protein, to certain receptors on host cells. The spike protein is the main surface antigen of the coronavirus. The glycosilated spike protein (as well as the nucleocapsid protein) can be detected in infected cell culture supernatants with antisera from SARS patients.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 0.5-2ug/ml
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Positive Control:
Transfected mouse melanoma cell lysate
