Mouse Monoclonal Antibody specific to Influenza B Neuraminidase
Background
Mechanism of Action: Influenza Neuraminidase
Neuraminidases are critical surface enzymes responsible for cleaving sialic acid groups from glycoproteins. In the context of the Influenza B virus, viral neuraminidase (NA) plays a pivotal role in the lifecycle of the pathogen. Structurally, Influenza neuraminidase is composed of four identical subunits arranged in a square tetramer, anchored to the virus surface by a long protein stalk. The enzyme’s active sites are located in deep depressions on the upper surface, where they bind to polysaccharide chains and clip off terminal sugars.
Neuraminidase vs. Hemagglutinin in Viral Infection
-Neuraminidase (NA) and Hemagglutinin (HA) are the two major membrane glycoproteins found on the surface of the influenza virus. They function in concert but with opposing roles:
- Hemagglutinin (HA): Initiates infection by binding to sialic acid-containing receptors on the surface of host cells.
- Neuraminidase (NA): Facilitates viral release. It acts as a receptor-destroying enzyme by cleaving the HA-sialic acid bond between newly formed virions and host cell receptors during budding.

These antibodies may be used in immunoassays to detect and quantitate Influenza B neuraminidase and in neuraminidase inhibition assays.
