ANTI-NOROVIRUS (MNV-1) CLONE 5C4.10 (C005B-450551)

General description

Norovirus is a member of the Caliciviridae family and is responsible for gastroenteritis outbreaks. Murine norovirus (MNV-1) that is about 28 to 35 nm in diameter, shares many biochemical and genetic features with human noroviruses. An analysis of the MNV-1 genome shows three open reading frames (ORF) that are characteristic of noroviruses and vesiviruses. ORF1 is reported to encode a predicted 187 kDa polyprotein that contains the 2C helicase, 3C protease, and 3D polymerase motifs. ORF2 encodes a 59 kDa capsid protein that can self-assemble into virus-like particles when expressed in a baculovirus expression system. ORF3 is reported to encode a putative 22 kDa basic protein. The norovirus capsid protein contains a highly conserved shell (S) and protruding (P) domain and the P domain is shown to contain binding sites for receptors and neutralizing antibodies. The S domain is shown to be highly conserved and the capsid sequence diversity is limited to the P domain. MNV-1 infection is reported to modulate the MAPK pathway to activate eIF4E phosphorylation and the activation of p38 and Mnk during MNV-1 infection is considered to be important for its replication. This monoclonal antibody, clone 5C4.10, recognizes the S domain portion of the viral capsid protein and is broadly reactive with pan-noroviruses of murine and human type. (Ref.: Kolawole AO, et al.
