Immunogen
Synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-Terminus of vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSV-G).
Specificity
Recognizes recombinant proteins containing the Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Glycoprotein (VSV-G) epitope tag. Epitope tags are short peptide sequences that can be attached to proteins from all species, and do not affect the protein's biochemical properties. VSV is a member of the Rhabdoviridae family, and consists of a single RNA molecule that encodes five proteins, one of which is a surface glycoprotein (G). G is a type I membrane glycoprotein and is responsible for viral binding to cell surface receptors and initiating the infectious process. Has been reported as suitable for immunofluorescence. However, filamentous staining may be observed at dilutions lower than 1:200.
