Question:

I was hoping you would know the peptide sequence that this MAb recognizes... we are working with the Rhesus CMV and would like to know if this MAb would cross react with the Rhesus CMV UL57 (ICP8).

Resolution:

We do not have any information regarding crossreactivity with Rhesus CMV - nor has the antibody epitope been mapped that we know of. My guess is that there is a very good chance of the antibody working just fine with the Rhesus CMV.

You can find additional information about this antibody in:
