Zika Envelope Antibody

Zika virus (ZIKV) belongs to the family Flaviviridae and the genus Flavivirus, it is transmitted by daytime-active Aedes mosquitoes, such as A. aegypti and A. albopictus. The Zika virus is related to the dengue, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, and West Nile viruses. Much like the other flaviviruses, Zika virus is enveloped and icosahedral and has a nonsegmented, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genome. Zika fever is an infection, which often causes no symptoms or only mild ones, like a mild form of dengue fever, and it is treated by rest. As of February 2016, there has been mounting evidence that Zika fever in pregnant women can cause abnormal brain development in their fetuses by mother-to-child transmission, which may result in miscarriage or microcephaly, however it is not yet known whether Zika virus causes microcephaly. Furthermore, a connection has been established with neurologic conditions in infected *****s, including Guillain–Barre syndrome.

Zika virus Full length envelope DNA was cloned into an expression vector containing a recombinant mammalian cell promoter vector which was injected into rabbit for in vivo expression of Zika envelope inducing the production of the specific Zika envelope antibody in rabbit. High titer anti-Zika envelope antibody was detected, dilute 1:4000 to 5000 before use.
