AAV Antibodies
Exclusive AAV Antibodies for AAV-based projects
PROGEN antibodies are useful for the characterization of different stages of an AAV infection and effective in the analyses of the AAV assembly process. There are two main categories of AAV antibodies:
- AAV capsid protein antibodies that specifically react with denatured AAV capsid proteins and thereby recognize the linear epitopes of the viral capsids.
- AAV particle antibodies that specifically react with intact AAV particles, i.e. empty and full capsids and thereby recognize a conformational epitope of the assembled capsids of certain serotypes.
PROGEN also offers a selection of AAV replicase antibodies.
AAV Antibodies
Yes, PROGEN offers several AAV virus particle specific, neutralizing antibodies against AAV serotypes 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9.
For more information on the neutralizing activity of our antibodies check out the internally collected data and publications for the corresponding serotypes. Just click the button for your specific serotype after following the link.
Yes, PROGEN offers a selection of AAV antibodies in sample sizes. Find a list of antibodies available in sample size of 10 µg (lyophilized) here: AAV Antibodies
PROGEN offers a wide range of AAV antibodies in different quantities and formats (e.g. lyophilized and supernatant). A selection of AAV antibodies are also available in 10µg lyophilized sample sizes. For more information on the different AAV antibodies please see AAV Antibodies.

AAV Capsid Antibodies
AAV Capsid Protein Antibodies specifically react with denatured AAV capsid proteins.

AAV Particle Antibodies
AAV Particle Antibodies recognize conformational epitopes of the viral capsid proteins that are only present on fully assembled capsids.

AAV Replicase Antibodies
AAV Replicase Antibodies play an important role in AAV genome replication and packing.
