Application Note | Anti-MMTV Antibody has been tested for use in western blotting. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect band approximately 41.2 kDa in size corresponding to MMTV surface protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. |
Physical State | Liquid (sterile filtered) |
Buffer | 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2 |
Immunogen | MMTV was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a full length sequence for mouse mammary tumor virus surface protein tagged with His. |
Preservative | 0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide |
Purity | Mouse mammary tumor virus surface protein antibody was prepared from monospecific, delipidated and defibrinated antiserum, with addition of sodium azide to 0.01% and cross adsorbed with 6X HIS. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with MMTV from mouse based on a 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known. |

Function | The surface protein (SU) attaches the virus to the host cell by binding to its receptor. This interaction triggers the refolding of the transmembrane protein (TM) and is thought to activate its fusogenic potential by unmasking its fusion peptide. Fusion occurs at the host cell plasma membrane (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | [Transmembrane protein]: Virion membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Host cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein |

Background
This antibody is designed, produced, and validated as part of a collaboration between Rockland and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and is suitable for Cancer, Enzyme, and Viral research. Mouse mammary tumor virus surface protein binds the virus to the receptor of the host cells triggering transmembrane protein refolding. This activates the fusion peptide and the structure coils and repeats positioning the fusion peptide near the C-terminus region. Inturn increasing close proximity and then fusion of viral and cell membranes. Anti-MMTV is ideal for researchers interested in Cancer, Viral, and Enzyme research.
