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. Envelope protein is a small polypeptide that contains at least one alpha-helical transmembrane domain. It involves in several aspects of the virus′s life cycle, such as assembly, budding, envelope formation, and pathogenesis. E protein has membrane permeabilizing activity, which provides a possible rationale to inhibit in vitro ion channel activity of some synthetic coronavirus E proteins, and also viral replication.

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19, 2019-nCoV) Envelope antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to 10 amino acids near the amino terminus of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19, 2019-nCoV) Envelope protein. The immunogen is located within the first 50 amino acids of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19, 2019-nCoV) Envelope.
애플리케이션
Antibody validated: Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence in COVID-19 patient samples. SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19, 2019-nCoV) Envelope antibody can detect 50 ng of free peptide at 1 μg/mL in ELISA. But it cannot detect envelope recombinant protein in WB and ELISA.
