The Mouse Monoclonal anti-HPV16 E7 antibody is suitable to detect HPV16 E7 in samples from Human Papillomavirus 16 (HPV-16). It has been validated for WB and ELISA.
DS-MB-03401 recognizes both the monomer and dimer forms of the E7 oncoprotein of human papilloma virus 16. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a diverse group of DNA-based viruses that infect skin and mucous membranes of humans and animals. Some HPV types are the causative agents of cervical cancer, with types 16 and 18 being particularly high-risk. The viral proteins E6 and E7 disrupts normal cell cycle regulation by interacting with p53 (a tumor-suppressing transcription factor) and Rb (retinoblastoma protein, also a tumor-suppressor). E7 particularly binds to Rb and histone deacetylases, resulting in activation of the E2F genes, which code for a family of transcription factors. The viral proteins E6 and E7 might be of particular interest in the development of therapeutic vaccines, since they are expressed early in viral infection. DS-MB-03401 cross-reacts with both the monomer and dimer forms of the E7 protein of HPV-18.
