Hepatitis C Virus Mosaic Antigen-A (HCV) Recombinant Protein

Description: HCV Mosaic-A protein contains a short core peptide residue 1-50a.a., 1269-1316a.a. of NS3, three epitopes from NS4 and two epitopes from NS5 and the genotype of all sequences are 1b. A specific peptide was identified from each region; the four peptides from each region were linked together and expressed in E Coli. The recombinant protein migrates at 33kDa.

Introduction: Hepatitis C is one type of viral hepatitis - a liver disease - caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) which is usually passed through contact with infected blood but can also pass through sex with an infected person and from mother to baby during childbirth.HCV core protein, NS3, NS4, and NS5 proteins of hepatitis C virus are all essential for detection of antibodies against HCV.

Small volumes of HCV recombinant protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS145207 is a recombinant protein targeting HCV. Also known as Recombinant Hepatitis C Virus Mosaic Antigen-A. Host: E Coli.
