Anti-Hepatitis C Virus Antibody [A1/3D1]

Mouse monoclonal antibody (clone A1/3D1) raised against Hepatitis C Virus, supplied by Antibodies.com as a primary antibody validated for ELISA. The reagent is of mouse origin, of the IgG1 isotype, and is provided unconjugated in lyophilised form.

The antibody was generated using synthetic peptides derived from the HCV core protein. It recognises recombinant core protein C together with envelope protein M (residues 1-142 on the HCV polyprotein) and synthetic core protein C (residues 1-61 on the HCV polyprotein). It does not recognise recombinant or synthetic HCV non-structural proteins NS-3 or NS-4. Purity is achieved by Protein G affinity chromatography, and the lyophilised product is prepared from a 0.01M Phosphate Buffered Saline solution at pH 7.2.

The product is shipped at 4°C; upon delivery it should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C, with freeze/thaw cycles avoided. Reconstitution is carried out using double distilled water, and final concentration is reconstitution dependent. Reactivity is reported for human hepatitis C virus samples.
