Overview

  • Product name
    Anti-HIV1 gp41 antibody
    See all HIV1 gp41 primary antibodies
  • Description
    Goat polyclonal to HIV1 gp41
  • Specificity
    Ab20890 detects Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1), gp41: amino acid 546-682 sequence from strain HxB2. The antiserum does not cross-react with human T or B cells. Antiserum has not been absorbed to remove anti-beta-galactosidase activity. We have data to indicate that this antibody may not cross react with Human. However, this has not been conclusively tested and expression levels may vary in certain cell lines/tissues.

Target

  • Relevance
    gp41/120 is the major HIV protein associated with the HIV envelope. It functions as the viral antireceptor or attachment protein. gp41 (or TM) traverses the envelope, whereas gp120 is present on the outer surface and is noncovalently attached to gp41. The precursor of gp120/41 (gp160) is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and is transported via the golgi body to the cell surface. Upon activation of the envelope glycoprotein (gp120/41) by cellular receptors, gp41 undergoes conformational changes that mediate fusion of the viral and cellular membranes.

Abs to be used in ELISA, WB against the HIV strain YU2 Gp41: ab20890 ab18633 ab19975 ab24714 Gp120: ab24745 ab20008 ab20105

Thank you for your enquiry. I have been in touch with the source of these HIV gp120 and gp41 antibodies and I have determine that unfortunately none of them have been tested against the HIV strain YU2. I can tell you that ab18633 is predicted, base...
