Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody to IFITM1

IFN~induced antiviral protein which inhibits the entry of viruses to the host cell cytoplasm, permitting endocytosis, but preventing subsequent viral fusion and release of viral contents into the cytosol. Active against multiple viruses, including influenza A virus, SARS coronavirus (SARS~CoV), Marburg virus (MARV), Ebola virus (EBOV), Dengue virus (DNV), West Nile virus (WNV), human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV~1) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Can inhibit: influenza virus hemagglutinin protein~mediated viral entry, MARV and EBOV GP1,2~mediated viral entry and SARS~CoV S protein~mediated viral entry. Also implicated in cell adhesion and control of cell growth and migration.
