The NA ha (Catalog #MBS150485) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Avian Influenza Hemagglutinin Antibody reacts with Virus and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. MyBioSource\'s Avian Influenza Hemagglutinin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA).Avian influenza hemagglutinin antibody can be used for the detection of the avian influenza hemagglutinin protein from the H5N1 strain of avian influenza An in ELISA. It will detect 10 ng of free peptide at 1 mug/mL. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the NA ha for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.
The NA ha product has the following accession number(s) (GI #50365729) (NCBI Accession #AAT76166) (Uniprot Accession #Q692M2). Researchers may be interested in using Bioinformatics databases such as those available at The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website for more information about accession numbers and the proteins they represent. Even researchers unfamiliar with bioinformatics databases will find the NCBI databases to be quite user friendly and useful.

Testing Data (Hemagglutinin antibody at 1 μg/mL specifically recognizes Avian H5N1 influenza virus but not seasonal influenza virus A H1N1 Hemagglutinin protein.)
Avian Influenza Hemagglutinin Antibody: Influenza A virus is a major public health threat, killing more than 30, 000 people per year in the USA. Novel influenza virus strains caused by genetic drift and viral recombination emerge periodically to which humans have little or no immunity, resulting in devastating pandemics. Influenza A can exist in a variety of animals; however it is in birds that all subtypes can be found. These subtypes are classified based on the combination of the virus coat glycoproteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) subtypes. During 1997, an H5N1 avian influenza virus was determined to be the cause of death in 6 of 18 infected patients in Hong Kong. There was some evidence of human to human spread of this virus, but it is thought that the transmission efficiency was fairly low. HA interacts with cell surface proteins containing oligosaccharides with terminal sialyl residues. Virus isolated from a human infected with the H5N1 strain in 1997 could bind to oligosaccharides from human as well as avian sources, indicating its species-jumping ability.
Conjugate: Unconjugated
Immunogen: Avian influenza hemagglutinin antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to 14 amino acids in the middle of the avian influenza hemagglutinin protein. Efforts were made to use relatively conserved regions of the viral sequence as the antigen.
Buffer: Avian Influenza Hemagglutinin Antibody is supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide. In general, we may offer more than one antibody to a given target to enable options for the researcher. Available antibodies recognizing NA are readily searchable from our website. Different antibodies against the same target such as NA may be optimized or tested for different applications and species. This enables researchers to select the option that may be best for their model system, to screen more than antibody to determine which one may be best for their model system, as well as to use more than one antibody to follow up on and validate their results.
