Relevance
VP1 is one of three simian virus 40 (SV40) capsid proteins. VP1 assembles into pentamers which have a central cavity that contains a copy of one of the other capsid proteins, VP2 or VP3. This complex is then imported into the cell nucleus. Here, 72 of the complexes assemble around the newly synthesised viral genome to form the icosahedral capsid. -

Western blot - Anti-SV40 VP1 antibody (ab53977)SV40 was ultracentrifuged on CsCl-gradient, fractions were collected from the top of the tube, run on PAGE, and the gel was stained with Coumassie. Equal amounts of SV40 from fractions 3,4 and 6 were run on PAGE, and the gel was stained with Coumassie. Equal amounts of SV40 from fraction 3,4 and 6 were run on PAGe and analysed by Western blot with α-VP1 and α-VP2/3 -
Immunoprecipitation - Anti-SV40 VP1 antibody (ab53977)ab53977 detecting VP1 by Immunoprecipitation. Mock or SV40-transfected CV1 cells were lysed with RIPA buffer. 100 µg total protein from each lysate was pre-cleared for 1 hour and then immunoprecipitated with alpha-VP1 1/1000 overnight at 4°C. Input and IP samples were run on an SDS gel and detected with alpha-VP1 diluted 1/10,000 using the ECL method. -
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-SV40 VP1 antibody (ab53977)ab53977 at 1/1000 dilution, staining SV40 VP1 in transfected cells. Cells were transfected with SV40 or mock-transfected, fixed for 5 minutes after adsorption in 100% methanol, blocked and stained with the antibody for 1 hour at room temperature. Cells were washed and stained with an Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated anti-rabbit antibody. DAPI was used to counterstain the nuclei.
