| Description | Polyclonal antibody (serum) obtained by immunizing rabbits with a mixture of two synthetic peptides
corresponding to aa65-78 (DSDFKVYRYNAVLD) and aa141-151 (NRSSFESSSGL) of the TMV coat protein. |

| Storage | Store at -20ºC. |
| Stability | Stable at least one year at -20°C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. |
| Biological Activity | This polyclonal antibody reacts with extracts of TMV-infected plants in DAS-ELISA as a capture antibody
(1: 100 dilution). TMV belongs to the genus Tobamovirus of the family Tobamorividae and its genome
consists of a single-stranded positive-sense RNA. The coat protein (17.5 kDa) participates in the structure
and assembly of rod-shaped virions. This protein is also essential for virus replication, cell-to-cell
movement and rapid long-distance movement of TMV in plants. TMV is transmitted by grafting and
seeds. |
| Formulation | 100μg of purified IgG fraction. Some of the liquid in the vial could have evaporated with changes in the
final volume. However, the mass of the protein is still inside the vial. |
