New Japanese Encephalitis Virus Monoclonal Antibodies

Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) is a Flavivirus that is spread by mosquitos in Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific regions. Most infections cause little or no symptoms however occasional inflammation of the brain can occur. Mortality is highest in children. Fortunately an effective vaccine is available.

ViroStat has released a new set of monoclonal antibodies to the NS1 protein of JEV. These antibodies do not cross react with related viruses including Yellow Fever Virus, West Nile Virus, TBE virus, Dengue viruses (1-4) and Zika virus. These antibodies form effective pairs for detecting the NS1 protein in ELISA.

Go to the ViroStat website, www.virostat-inc.com to download the data sheets of these new antibodies.
