Infection also increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. HBV belongs to the Hepadnaviridae family of viruses. Its genome consists of partially double stranded circular DNA. The DNA is enclosed in a nucleocapsid, or core antigen (HBcAg), which is surrounded by a spherical envelope (surface antigen or HBsAg). The core antigen shares its sequences with the e antigen (HBeAg) but no cross reactivity between the two proteins has been observed. The HBV genome also encodes a DNA polymerase that also acts as a reverse transcriptase.;Description:Mouse Anti-Hepatitis B Core Antigen Monoclonal Antibody;Host Species:Mouse;Species Reactivity:Virus;Clone#:3B5;Isotype:IgG2a;Application:ELISA, Pr;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C.
