Infection of mosquito-borne West Nile Virus can cause severe neurological disease and can be epidemic. Two non-structural proteins, NS3 and NS2b, play an essential role in viral replication and are therefore a potential target for treatment and prevention of West Nile Virus disease. NS3 consists of a trypsin-like serine protease with a catalytic triad (His51, Asp75, Ser135) and a putative helicase. Requiring NS2b as the co‑factor, NS3 protease processes viral polyprotein precursor (1, 2). The purified recombinant protein consists of three forms: the full-length fusion protein, the N-terminal NS2b, and the C-terminal NS3 with the G4SG4 linker. NS3 protease has a relatively narrow substrate specificity that prefers Arg in P1 and Lys in P2.

Scientific Data Images for Viral wnvNS3 Protease Antibody
Detection of wnvNS3 Protease by Western Blot.
Western blot shows Recombinant Viral wnvNS3 Protease (Catalog # 2907-SE). PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Viral wnvNS3 Protease Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2907) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for full length wnvNS3 Protease at approximately 32 kDa and and C-terminal NS3 at approximately 22 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.Applications for Viral wnvNS3 Protease Antibody
