This mouse IgG2a monoclonal antibody [rJ2], recognizes double stranded RNA (dsRNA) of greater than 40 bp in length which is generated during the replication of positive sense genome viruses.
Highlights:
Recombinant versions available from our sister company, Absolute Antibody:
rJ2 antibody can be used to detect dsRNA intermediates of viruses as diverse as Zika virus, Hepatitis C virus, Dengue virus, rhinovirus, Chikungunya virus, Rabies virus, Polio virus, Classic swine fever virus, Brome mosaic virus and many more in cultured cells and also in fixed paraffin-embedded histological samples.

Zika Virus Infecting Cells
Anti-dsRNA [rJ2] Antibody used at 1:60 to detect Zika virus (green) infection of cultured human cells. Zika virus levels are lower (top right panel), as UMMS researchers decreased the levels of the EMC1 protein in the human cells using siRNA. NT= non-targeting negative control siRNA. Cell nuclei are shown in blue below
