Mouse Anti-Canine Adenovirus (CAV) Monoclonal Antibody-Detection

Canine adenoviruses (CAVs) are a group of non-enveloped viruses that can cause respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases in dogs. The target information for CAVs typically focuses on their capsid proteins, which are crucial for viral attachment and entry into host cells. The hexon, penton base, and fiber proteins are the primary structural components of the CAV capsid, providing potential targets for vaccine development and antiviral therapies. The hexon is the most abundant protein and forms the 20-sided capsid shell, offering a large surface area for immune recognition and neutralization. The penton base, located at the vertices of the capsid, interacts with cellular receptors during viral entry. The fiber protein projects from the penton base and is responsible for initial attachment to host cells, making it a key player in host specificity and pathogenesis.
