Rb2073-180513-WS

A synthetic peptide from aa region 50-87 of Influenza A virus Protein PB1-F2 (PB2) conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen.

PB1

Function: Plays an important role in promoting lung pathology in both primary viral infection and secondary bacterial infection. Promotes alteration of mitochondrial morphology, dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential, and cell death. Alternatively, inhibits the production of interferon in the infected cell at the level of host mitochondrial antiviral signaling MAVS. Its level of expression differs greatly depending on which cell type is infected, in a manner that is independent of the levels of expression of other viral proteins. Monocytic cells are more affected than epithelial cells. Seems to disable virus-infected monocytes or other host innate immune cells. May also act in trans: extracellular PB1-F2 released by infected cells could potentially inactivate hosts cell recruitment to the site of infection. During early stage of infection, may predispose the mitochondria to permeability transition through interaction with human SLC25A6/ANT3 and VDAC1. These proteins participate in the formation of the permeability transition pore complex (PTPC) responsible of the release of mitochondrial products that triggers apoptosis.
Miscellaneous: Is not encoded in all strains, and seems to be dispensable for replication.
Subcellular location: Host mitochondrion inner membrane. Host nucleus. Host cytoplasm › host cytosol. Note: Inner mitochondrial membrane in most cells types. Otherwise is detected in the nucleus and cytosol.

Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
