Produktinformation

• Name: Oropouche Virus Nucleoprotein N1, Recombinant
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Oropouche virus (OROV) is an arthropod-borne orthobunyavirus found in South America, originally isolated in Trinidad and Tobago. The virus is transmitted by Culicoides paraensis mosquitoes, which feed on vertebrate hosts, including humans. It causes Oropouche fever, a febrile infection similar to dengue. The nucleocapsid protein (N) is encoded by OROV’s small genome segment. It plays a crucial role in genome encapsidation, protecting viral RNA from degradation, as well as facilitating viral RNA synthesis and viral particle assembly. Detecting OROV in diagnostic assays is vital due to its potential to cause large epidemics.Cymit Quimica’s Oropouche Virus Nucleoprotein N1 recombinant protein, is expressed in Drosophila S2 cells and contains a C-tag located at C-terminal. This antigen is potentially suitable for development of serological assays, such as ChLIA, ELISA and lateral flow, to detect the presence of antibodies to Oropouche virus in patient samples.
