Invitrogen™ Influenza A NP Monoclonal Antibody (AA5H), 2mg

The Invitrogen™ Influenza A NP Monoclonal Antibody (AA5H) is a mouse monoclonal antibody designed for the detection of Influenza A virus nucleoprotein (NP). Supplied as an unconjugated liquid antibody, it is suitable for research applications involving influenza virus detection, viral antigen localisation, and immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence workflows.

The antibody was generated using A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1) and A/Bangkok/1/79 (H3N2) virus immunogens and recognises Influenza A nucleoprotein, an essential viral protein involved in encapsidating viral RNA and supporting replication-related functions. This makes it a useful reagent for laboratories studying Influenza A virus biology, host-virus interactions, and viral protein expression.

Product Specifications

Target Information

The nucleoprotein (NP) of Influenza A virus encapsidates the negative-strand viral RNA and plays an essential role in viral replication and transcription. NP can bind single-stranded RNA and self-associate to form oligomeric complexes. It also interacts with viral and host proteins, including polymerase subunits, matrix protein M1, nuclear import receptors, actin, CRM1, and helicase-related cellular proteins.

Storage & Handling

Store at 4°C as recommended. The antibody contains 15 mM sodium azide, so it should be handled using appropriate laboratory PPE and disposed of according to institutional chemical and biological safety procedures. Avoid use in diagnostic workflows unless specifically validated and authorised.

The Invitrogen™ Influenza A NP Monoclonal Antibody (AA5H), Catalog No. MA5-16291, is a reliable research antibody for detecting Influenza A nucleoprotein in immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescence applications. Its monoclonal specificity, defined clone identity, Protein A purification, and high-concentration liquid formulation make it suitable for influenza virus research, viral antigen localisation, and host-virus interaction studies.
