WR304 also neutralizes infectious HIV-1 virus and can be used to probe the presence of PIP and PIP2 in membranes in a variety of applications including inositol phosphate-dependent cell signaling pathways.WR304-Biotin allows this antibody to be used in combination with a wide range of commercially available streptavidin-fluorophore and streptavidin-enzyme complexes. WR304-Biotin can also be used with samples that contain mouse IgM.This antibody was developed by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) using a targeted adjuvant protocol with liposomes containing Avanti’s Lipid A. Storage Temperature The recommended long-term storage for WR304 is at -80°C. After initial thawing remaining product should refrozen at -80°C.Wassef NM, Roerdink F, Swartz GM Jr, Lyon JA, Berson BJ, Alving CR.
