Mouse Anti-Rift Valley Fever Virus (RVFV) Nucleoprotein (NP) Monoclonal Antibody

Rift valley fever virus (RVFV) nucleoprotein (N) is a vital component of the virus's ribonucleoprotein complex, which includes the viral RNA genome and other viral proteins. The N protein encapsidates the viral RNA, forming a helical nucleocapsid that is essential for the protection, replication, and transcription of the viral genetic material within the host cell. The N protein is a key player in the virus's life cycle and is considered a potential target for antiviral strategies. Its interaction with the viral RNA is critical for the assembly of new virions, making it an attractive target for the development of therapeutics that could disrupt this process. Inhibiting the N protein's function could impair the virus's ability to replicate, thereby limiting the spread of infection.
