Cat#:PA-2538F;Product Name:Mouse Anti-Hepatitis C Virus E2 Antibody;Synonym:E2 protein; Envelope glycoprotein E2; Gp68; Gp70; HCV E2; HCV envelope glycoprotein E2; Hepatitis C virus envelope glycoprotein E2; Hepatitis C Virus E2; Flaviviridae; Hepacivirus; Hepatitis C virus; NS1;Background:HCV is a positive, single-stranded RNA virus in the Flaviviridae family. The genome is approximately 10,000 nucleotides and encodes a single polyprotein of about 3,000 amino acids.HCV is responsible for a large proportion of worldwide chronic viral hepatitides. Most of these infections develop into chronic hepatitis, which often progresses to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. At present, (unlike hepatitis A and B), there is no vaccine to prevent hepatitis C infection.The hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural protein 4B (NS4B) is a relatively hydrophobic 27-kDa protein. The 4A protein has a molecular weight of 6 kDa.;Description:Mouse Anti-Hepatitis C Virus E2 Monoclonal Antibody;Host Species:Mouse;Species Reactivity:Virus;Clone#:BDI178;Isotype:IgG1;Application:ELISA, IFA, WB;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C.
