Extra Details:: A novel coronavirus has recently been identified as the causative agent of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). Coronaviruses are a major cause of upper respiratory diseases in humans. The genomes of these viruses are positive-stranded RNA approximately 27-31kb in length. The M protein (Membrane protein, Matrix protein) is one of the major structural viral proteins. It is an integral membrane protein involved in the budding of the viral particles and interacts with S (Spike) protein and the nucleocapsid protein . Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: ELISA: 1ug/ml Detects 5ng of free peptide Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
