MeV H Rabbit pAb, AP conjugate

Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Interacts with human PVRL4; this interaction allows virus infection of the respiratory epithelium (By similarity). Interacts with human MCP/CD46 antigen and SLAMF1.

Virion membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein (Potential). Host cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein (By similarity).

Belongs to the paramyxoviruses hemagglutinin-neuraminidase family. Non-sialidase subfamily.

Attaches the virus to cell receptors and thereby initiating infection. Binding of H protein to the receptor induces a conformational change that allows the F protein to trigger virion/cell membranes fusion. May use human CD46 and/or SLAMF1 as receptors for viral entry into the cell. The high degree of interaction between H and MCP/CD46 results in down-regulation of the latter from the surface of infected cells, rendering them more sensitive to c3b-mediated complement lysis.
