Our results showed that the antibodies could efficiently and specifically bind to their corresponding proteins from E.coli expressed or lysate of SARS-CoV infected Vero-E6 cells by Western blot analysis. When S2 Ab was used to perform immune precipitation with lysate of SARS-CoV infected cells, a cleaved S2 fragment was detected with S2-specific mAb by Western blot analysis. Furthermore, antibodies against S1, S2, N protein could detect their corresponding proteins from the lysates of SARS-CoV infected Vero E6 cells. To First, S2-specific mAb was directly used to detect native S2 fragment or full length of S protein in the lysate of SARS-CoV infected Vero E6 cells. ./cache/cord-314947-fy1lqk00.txt ./txt/cord-314947-fy1lqk00.txt
