Brief Description	(IN2) SARS virus membrane protein
Specific Description	A novel coronavirus has recently been identified as the causative agent of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) (1-2). Coronaviruses are a major cause of upper respiratory diseases in humans (3). The genomes of these viruses are positive-stranded RNA approximately 27-31kb in length. SARS infection can be mediated by the binding of the viral spike protein, a glycosylated 139 kDa protein and the major surface antigen of the virus, to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on target cells. This binding can be blocked by a soluble form of ACE2 (4).
Storage	SARS Spike antibody can be stored at 4°C, stable for one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
