Polyclonal Antibodies Against Cardiovirus 2A, 2B, 2C, 3C, 3A, 3B and 3AB Proteins

Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (University of Wisconsin)
posted on 06/23/2009

The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) is seeking commercial partners interested in polyclonal antibodies against several cardiovirus proteins.

Suggested Uses

  • Studying cardiovirus proteins
  • May lead to new means of detecting, preventing and treating cardiovirus infection, including encephalomyocarditis virus infection

Advantages

  • All reagents have been tested for efficacy.
  • Most of the antibodies react with viral precursor proteins, in addition to the mature proteins against which they were raised.
     

Innovation Details
 

Detailed Description

Encephalomyocarditis virus, a cardiovirus, causes encephalitis and myocarditis. It is a widespread problem in swine, causing sudden death and reproductive failure and potentially leading to severe economic losses for pork producers. This virus also infects exotic mammals such as elephants and llamas.

UW-Madison researchers have developed polyclonal mouse antibodies against recombinant cardiovirus proteins. The antibodies can be used for specific molecular recognition of the cardiovirus proteins in vitro or in vivo using experimental techniques such as ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay), Western assays, protein immunoprecipitation (IP) and confocal fluorescence microscopy.
