General description

Virus inhibitory protein endoplasmic reticulum-associated interferon-inducible (Viperin) belongs to the RSAD2 family and is highly inducible by both type I and type II interferons, but little or no induction is observed in moncytic cell lines. Studies suggest that viperin is involved in host antiviral response, as viperin induction is observed from viral infections. Research also reveals that viperin inhibits influenza replication by disrupting its release from the plasmic membrane through the altering of plasma membrane fluidity by affecting formation of lipid rafts. Lipid rafts are known detergent-resistant microdomian sites for influenza budding.

Immunogen

Recombinant protein corresponding to human Viperin.

Application

Anti-Viperin Antibody, clone MaP.VIP detects level of Viperin & has been published & validated for use in WB, IH, FC, IP & IC.
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:500-1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Viperin in human colon and rat liver tissues.

Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A representative lot was used by an independent laboratory in HepG2 cell lysate (Hinson, E., et al. (2008). JBC. 284(7):4705–4712).

Flow Cytometry Analysis: A representative lot was used by an independent laboratory in mouse liver, spleen, lung, and lymph node cells (Hinson, E., et al. (2010). J. Immunol. 184:5723-5731).

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot was used by an independent laboratory in mouse spleen cells (Hinson, E., et al. (2010). J. Immunol. 184:5723-5731).

Acridine dyes, including proflavine and acriflavine, were commonly used as antiseptics before the advent of penicillins in the mid-1940s. While their mode of action on pathogens was originally attributed to their DNA intercalating activity, work in the early 1970s suggested

Gene-recombinase technologies, such as Cre/loxP-mediated DNA recombination, are important tools in the study of gene function, but have potential side effects due to damaging activity on DNA. Here we show that DNA recombination by Cre instigates a robust antiviral response

Understanding the mechanisms by which viruses evade host cell immune defenses is important for developing improved antiviral therapies. In an unusual twist, human cytomegalovirus co-opts the antiviral radical SAM enzyme viperin (virus-inhibitory protein, endoplasmic reticulum-associated, interferon-inducible) to enhance viral infectivity.
