Anti-Hepatitis C Virus NS3 Antibody [1-5]

This mouse monoclonal antibody from Antibodies.com targets the Hepatitis C Virus NS3 region and is designated clone 1-5. It is an unconjugated IgG1 primary antibody validated for ELISA and Western Blot (WB) applications, with reactivity against Human hepatitis C virus.

The clone was raised against a highly antigenic polypeptide consisting of essential sequences of at least 60 residues in length, selected from genes encoding the NS-3 region of a Chinese HCV strain. The antibody specifically recognises synthetic HCV NS-3 protein and does not cross-react with the HCV polyprotein core region or other non-structural regions. It is supplied as a lyophilised product, purified by Protein G affinity chromatography and formulated in 0.01M Phosphate Buffered Saline, pH 7.2.

The antibody is shipped at 4°C and should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C upon delivery, with freeze/thaw cycles avoided. Reconstitution is performed with double distilled water, and the working concentration is reconstitution dependent.
