V5 peptide

V5 peptide is an epitope peptide of Simian Parainfluenza Virus type 5 (SV5) belonging to the Paramyxovirus family. SV5 causes some common human diseases, such as pneumonia, bronchiolitis, measles and mumps. V5 peptide represents amino acids 95-108 of SV5 corresponding to RNA polymerase alpha subunit and non-structural protein V. V5 peptide sequence was chosen because high-affinity antibodies can be produced in many different species. V5 peptide is useful as tag for protein purification and detection such as Western blotting, ELISA assays, immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation assays and for protein purification.
