Used in research and diagnostic applications to detect and neutralize the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). This antibody specifically targets the spike protein of MERS-CoV, making it valuable for immunoassays such as ELISA, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry to study viral entry and antibody response. It is also employed as a control in neutralization assays to evaluate the efficacy of vaccines and therapeutic antibodies. Due to its high specificity and well-characterized binding, it serves as a reference standard in comparative studies of anti-MERS immune responses.
