Antibodies to target chicken herpes virus receptor protein

 

Professors Keith Jarosinski and Ying Fang at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have generated a panel of antibodies that target and bind an uncharacterized receptor protein involved in chicken herpes virus infection, a common disease in livestock chickens

Antibodies can be used to research chicken herpes virus transmission and infection, as well as to investigate the role of the CR1L receptor protein in viral infection
