    Western Blotting 1:1000

    Storage

    Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    MERS-CoV Spike Protein (E9P2L) Mouse mAb recognizes transfected levels of total MERS-CoV spike protein. The antibody detects full-length MERS-CoV spike protein and also detects the S1 fragment generated by host protease cleavage. It does not cross-react with spike proteins from SARS coronaviruses (CoV-1, CoV-2).

    Species Reactivity:

    Virus

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val534 of MERS-CoV spike protein.

    Background

    Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is a contagious viral respiratory infection, whose causative agent was identified as the MERS-related coronavirus (MERS-CoV) (1,2). MERS-CoV is a single-stranded mRNA betacoronavirus; similar to other infectious coronaviruses (e.g., SARS-CoV-2), the MERS-CoV virion is comprised of four key structural proteins: spike (S), envelope (E), membrane (M), and nucleocapsid (N) (3). Coronavirus spike proteins are class I fusion proteins that harbor an ectodomain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular tail. The highly glycosylated ectodomain projects from the viral envelope surface and facilitates attachment and fusion with the host cell plasma membrane. The ectodomain can be further subdivided into host receptor-binding domain (RBD) (S1) and membrane-fusion (S2) subunits, which are produced upon proteolysis by host proteases (4). MERS-CoV spike proteins utilize the cell surface protein DPP4/CD26 as the receptor for cellular entry (5,6); notably, this protein displays no structural similarities to ACE2, the primary receptor for SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2. Spike protein subunits represent a key antigenic feature of coronavirus virions, and therefore represent an important target of vaccines, novel therapeutic antibodies, and small-molecule inhibitors (7,8).
