Anti-VSV Glycoprotein antibody, Mouse monoclonal (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma P5D4 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Glycoprotein (VSV-G), conjugated to KLH.
Synonyms: VSV; VSV glycoprotein; Vesicular Stomatitis Virus glycoprotein
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-VSV Glycoprotein antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation, immunocytochemistry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and studies applying microinjection of the antibody.
Biochem Physiol Actions: Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Glycoprotein (VSV-G) constitutes an attractive model to study maturation and intracellular transport of membrane proteins. It mediates attachment of VSV to the cell surface and induces pH-dependent fusion between viral and target membranes. In addition, it possesses information for intracellular sorting in its cytoplasmic domain, including efficient export from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), basolateral delivery and endocytosis. The unidirectional transport between golgi cisternae was demonstrated using golgi membranes containing VSV-G. Temperature sensitive mutants of VSV-G are used to study exit of folding intermediates from the endoplasmic reticulum.
