Monoclonal Antibodies For Influenza Research

Inventor: Walter Gerhard

Tech ID: GW0301, GW01RR

Characteristics: These antibodies specifically bind to the identified antigens on influenza viruses. All of the antibodies are useful for ELISA and some of the antibodies are also useful for Western blot. The specificity of the various antibodies that have been characterized is as shown:
