Hantaan Virus Glycoprotein Antibody

Hantaan virus (HNTV) is the prototype virus of the genus hantavirus of the family Bunyaviridae, an enveloped, negative-sense RNA virus that is the eiological agent of Korean hemorrhagic fever (1). The two glycoproteins of HNTV, G1 and G2, are encoded as a continuous open reading frame to produce a polypetide precursor which is then processed to yield two glycoproteins (2). During infection both glycoproteins are found in the Golgi complex and co-expression is considered as a prerequisite for localization to the Golgi complex (2).
