The NP Antibody (PAC035178) offered by AssayGenie is a high-quality polyclonal antibody designed for research involving the NP protein. NP, a nucleoprotein found in influenza A virus, plays a critical role in viral replication and transcription, making it a key target for studying the virus. This antibody, raised in rabbits, is highly reactive with NP in human samples and is validated for use in various applications, including Western blotting and immunofluorescence. It specifically binds to the NP protein, allowing for accurate detection and analysis in different cell types and tissues.
With its ability to target NP, this antibody is ideal for research in virology, infectious diseases, and vaccine development. Understanding the role of NP in viral infection is crucial for developing effective strategies to combat influenza and other related viruses.

Recombinant Influenza A virus Nucleoprotein protein (1-498AA)
Encapsidates the negative strand viral RNA, protecting it from nucleases. The encapsidated genomic RNA is termed the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) and serves as template for transcription and replication. The RNP needs to be localized in the nucleus to start an infectious cycle, but is too large to diffuse through the nuclear pore complex. NP comprises at least 2 nuclear localization signals and is responsible of the active RNP import into the nucleus through the cellular importin alpha/β pathway. Later in the infection, nucleus export of RNP are mediated through viral proteins NEP interacting with M1 which binds nucleoproteins. It is possible that the nucleoprotein binds directly exportin-1 (XPO1) and plays an active role in RNP nuclear export. M1 interaction with RNP seems to hide nucleoprotein's nuclear localization signals. Soon after a virion infects a new cell, M1 dissociates from the RNP under acid, fication of the virion driven by M2 protein. Dissociation of M1 from RNP unmask nucleoprotein's nuclear localization signals, targeting the RNP to the nucleus
