Product Overview
Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses with a positive-sense RNA genome and with a nucleocapsid of helical symmetry. Coronavirus nucleoproteins localize to the cytoplasm and the nucleolus, a subnuclear structure, in both virus-infected primary cells and in cells transfected with plasmids that express N protein. Coronavirus N protein is required for coronavirus RNA synthesis, and has RNA chaperone activity that may be involved in template switch. Nucleocapsid protein is a most abundant protein of coronavirus. During virion assembly, N protein binds to viral RNA and leads to formation of the helical nucleocapsid. Nucleocapsid protein is a highly immunogenic phosphoprotein also implicated in viral genome replication and in modulating cell signaling pathways. Because of the conservation of N protein sequence and its strong immunogenicity, the N protein of coronavirus is chosen as a diagnostic tool.

The recommended starting dilution for Western Blot is WB 1:1000-1:5000;ELISA 1:5000-1:10000. Optimal dilution should be determined empirically for each laboratory setup, sample type, and detection system. Use freshly prepared lysates with protease inhibitors; add phosphatase inhibitors if studying phosphorylation-dependent forms of the target. If background is high, increase blocking (5% non-fat milk or BSA in TBST) and/or increase wash stringency.
This antibody has been experimentally validated in: SARS. Cross-reactivity with other species has not been systematically evaluated. If your sample species is not listed, assess immunogen sequence homology to your target species ortholog. The immunogen used is: "Recombinant SARS-CoV Nucleo protein/NP Protein(HisTag)" — higher sequence identity between species increases the probability of cross-reactivity, but experimental validation with appropriate controls is necessary before drawing scientific conclusions.
Store at -20℃ Valid for 12 months. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles. Storage Buffer: 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS. To maintain antibody activity, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Aliquot into single-use volumes before first freeze. If working with the antibody frequently, keep a working stock at 4°C for up to 4 weeks — add 0.02% sodium azide to the working stock as a bacteriostatic agent if azide is not already present in the buffer. Monitor performance against a validated positive control when transitioning between storage aliquots or lots.
Polyclonal antibodies are produced from immunized animals and may exhibit some degree of lot-to-lot variation in titer, background, and sensitivity. Each production lot is tested for performance against established acceptance criteria. When transitioning to a new lot, run a side-by-side pilot comparison against your previous lot using a validated positive control sample before updating your standard protocol. If significant performance differences are observed, contact our technical support team — titer adjustments may resolve the issue in most cases.
Customization & Add-ons: Can't find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
