HBV Core (HBV) Recombinant Protein

The E.coli derived recombinant protein contains the HBV core immunodominant region amino acids 1-185

The hepatitis B core protein (HBcAg) is the major component of the nucleocapsid shell packaging the HBV genome. This 185 amino acid non-glycosylated protein is expressed in the cytoplasm of infected cells. It is an indicator of active viral replication; this means the person infected with Hepatitis B can likely transmit the virus on to another person.

HBeAg is the extracellular form of HBcAg. Both HBeAg and HBcAg are made from the same reading frame, but HBeAg is secreted from cells and accumulates in serum as an immunologically distinct soluble antigen .

Small volumes of HBV 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.

MBS434120 is a recombinant protein targeting HBV. Also known as HBV Core Recombinant Protein (aa 1-186). Host: Escherichia Coli.
