Noroviruses are categorized into two groups - group 1 and group 2. Norovirus is a widespread virus which can cause human gastroenteritis, an illness characterized with symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting and sickness. In America there are about 20 million causes of infection by Nororvirus, 800 ending in deaths. Worldwide, this virus infects around 267 million people and causes over 200,000 deaths per year. Even though having norovirus is unpleasant, it is seldom dangerous and typically ends in full recovery after few days. The cases resulting in deaths are primarily very young, elderly and immuno-suppressed individuals and people from less developed countries. Norovirus is extremely contagious and is spread from person to person, by infected food or water or polluted surfaces. Outbreaks usually happen from November to April, peaking in January.
Mouse antibody Monoclonal.
Paired Norovirus Group-II antibodies, capture and conjugating, target the viral nuclear protein. They were developed to detect Norovirus II antigen in stool rapid test. The capture antibody is used as a coating antibody, and the conjugating antibody is used as the conjugate to bind to colloid gold.
Please note that when ordering for example: 100μg antibody we ship 50μg from each of the antibodies (100μg in total).
