Mouse Anti-Canine Parainfluenza Virus (CPIV) Nucleoprotein Monoclonal Antibody

Canine parainfluenza virus (CPIV), a member of the Paramyxoviridae family, is a significant respiratory pathogen in dogs. The nucleoprotein (NP) of CPIV is a vital structural component that tightly binds to the viral RNA genome, forming the helical nucleocapsid. This complex is crucial for the protection of the viral genetic material and its replication within the host cell. The NP of CPIV is a potential target for antiviral therapies due to its essential role in the viral life cycle. Inhibiting the function of the NP could impede the virus's ability to replicate its RNA, thereby limiting viral propagation. Additionally, the NP is an immunogenic protein that can elicit an immune response, making it a candidate for inclusion in vaccines.
