Mouse Anti-Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus (PERV) Monoclonal Antibody

The porcine endogenous retrovirus type A (PERV-A) envelope glycoprotein is a key component of the viral envelope, which is crucial for the infection process of PERV-A. This glycoprotein is responsible for the binding and fusion of the virus with target cells, enabling the transmission of the viral genome into the host cell. The PERV-A envelope glycoprotein is derived from the viral genome and is expressed on the surface of infected cells, where it plays a pivotal role in the viral life cycle. As a target for antiviral strategies, the PERV-A envelope glycoprotein presents an opportunity for intervention due to its critical involvement in the initial stages of viral infection. Inhibiting the function of this glycoprotein could prevent the virus from binding to and entering host cells, thereby limiting the spread of infection. The development of monoclonal antibodies or small molecule inhibitors that target the PERV-A envelope glycoprotein may offer a means to disrupt the virus's entry mechanism.
