| Biological Activity | This polyclonal antibody (serum) reacts with extracts of TMV-infected plants in DAS-ELISA as a capture antibody (1: 100 dilution). TMV belongs to the genus Tobamovirus of the family Tobamorividae and its genome consists of a single-stranded positive-sense RNA. The coat protein (17.5 kDa) participates in the structure and assembly of rod-shaped virions. This protein is also essential for virus replication, cell-to-cell movement and rapid long-distance movement of TMV in plants. TMV is transmitted by grafting and seeds. |
| Formulation | 2 mL of whole serum. Some of the liquid in the vial could have evaporated with changes in the final volume. However, the mass of the protein is still inside the vial. |
