Puumala virus (PUUV) is a rodent-borne hantavirus of the family Bunyaviridae, an enveloped, negative-sense RNA viruses with a tripartite genome that can cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and is highly homologous to the protype hantavirus Hantaan virus. Like other hantaviruses, the PUUV glycoprotein is synthesized as a precursor that is posttranslationally processed into two glycoproteins G1 (Gn) and G2 (Gc). These glycoproteins interact with the PUUV nucleocapsid (NP) protein through their cytoplasmic tail, and this association has been suggested to be crucial to the binding of the ribonucleoprotein of the PUUV and the assembly of the virus particle.
Immunogen
Puumala virus glycoprotein antibody was raised against a 19 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of the Puumala virus glycoprotein.The immunogen is located within amino acids 90 - 140 of Puumala Virus Glycoprotein.
Application
Puumala virus glycoprotein antibody can detect 10ng Puumala virus glycoprotein peptide in ELISA at 1 μg/ml.
