Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), formerly known as 2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease, is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, a virus closely related to the SARS virus. The disease is the cause of the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak. The structure of 2019-nCoV consists of the following: a spike protein (S), hemagglutinin-esterease dimer (HE), a membrane glycoprotein (M), an envelope protein (E) a nucleoclapid protein (N) and RNA. NSP8 plays a role in viral RNA synthesis (3,4,5). Forms a hexadecamer with nsp7 (8 subunits of each) that may participate in viral replication by acting as a primase. Alternatively, it may synthesize substantially longer products than oligonucleotide primers.
Immunogen
Anti-SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) NSP8 antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to 14 amino acids near the center of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) NSP8 protein. The immunogen is located within 40-90 amino acids of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) NSP8.
Application
Antibody validated: SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) NSP8 antibody can detect 2 ng of free peptide at 1 μg/mL in ELISA.
