Mouse Anti-Vaccinia Virus A14 Monoclonal Antibody

The vaccinia virus protein A14, also known as A14L, is a structural protein of the vaccinia virus, which is a member of the Poxviridae family. This protein plays a crucial role in the assembly and maturation of the virus particles. It is involved in the formation of the virus's core, which is essential for the packaging of the viral genome. The A14 protein has been identified as a potential target for antiviral therapies due to its importance in the viral life cycle. It is highly conserved among different strains of the vaccinia virus, indicating its fundamental role in the virus's replication process. Research into the function and interaction of the A14 protein with other viral and host factors can provide valuable insights into the development of new antiviral strategies against poxviruses, including smallpox, which is a significant concern for global health security.
