Overview
This is a polyclonal anti-Ba71V-081 antibody raised in Rabbit, with confirmed utility in ELISA, WB. It is designed to detect Ba71V-081 protein in African swine fever virus and supports researchers working in others contexts.
Key elements and design rationale
- Immunogen: Recombinant African swine fever virus Ba71V-081 protein (415-646aa) — determines the epitope region; confirm compatibility with sample preparation and expected post-translational modifications.
- Host species (Rabbit): Requires anti-rabbit-IgG secondary reagents for indirect detection.
- Polyclonal format: Recognizes multiple epitopes for robust signal; inherent lot-to-lot variability requires appropriate controls.
- Isotype (IgG): Matched secondary antibodies and isotype controls required. Compatible with standard Protein A/G purification workflows.
- Purification (Antigen affinity purification): Enriches for specific immunoglobulin classes; reduces non-specific background vs. crude antisera.
Biological background
Ba71V-081 (also referred to as Major capsid protein (MCP) (p72)) is a protein target studied in African swine fever virus (strain Badajoz 1971 Vero-adapted) (Ba71V) (ASFV) systems. Expression, subcellular localization, and post-translational modifications vary across cell types and disease states — factors critical to antibody-based detection design. Consult UniProt, NCBI Gene, and primary literature for current annotation of Ba71V-081 biology in others.
Common research applications
- ELISA: Quantification of soluble target in biological fluids or culture supernatants. Ensure samples are within the linear detection range.
- WB: Confirms target molecular weight and distinguishes isoforms under denaturing conditions.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isotype controls: Use an isotype-matched (IgG from Rabbit) control at equivalent concentration to assess non-specific background.
- Cross-reactivity: Polyclonal preparations may cross-react with related proteins. Orthogonal validation (siRNA, KO lysate) is recommended.
- Matrix effects: Sample matrix can affect performance; pilot dilution linearity and spike-recovery experiments are advised for quantitative studies.
- Species reactivity: Confirmed for African swine fever virus. Extrapolation to untested species requires empirical validation.

Ba71V-081 is a protein target in African swine fever virus biology. This polyclonal antibody raised in Rabbit is designed to detect Ba71V-081 in ELISA, WB applications, with IgG isotype.
Reported reactive against African swine fever virus. Immunogen derived from African swine fever virus (strain Badajoz 1971 Vero-adapted) (Ba71V) (ASFV). Cross-reactivity with other species should not be assumed without documented data or empirical testing.
Reported for ELISA, WB. Each format requires independent dilution optimization and appropriate controls. Unlisted applications require empirical testing.
This non-conjugated IgG antibody requires a compatible secondary. Select anti-rabbit IgG secondary conjugated to your preferred reporter (HRP, AP, fluorophore, or biotin), matched to IgG.
(1) Isotype control — IgG from Rabbit at matching concentration; (2) Positive control — known Ba71V-081-expressing cell/tissue; (3) Negative control — knockdown/knockout sample for specificity; (4) Dilution linearity — verify proportional signal decrease in your matrix.
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).
