Anti-Hepatitis C Virus NS3 Antibody [20-8] - Identical to Thermo (MA1-21376)

Antibodies.com offers a primary antibody targeting the Hepatitis C Virus NS3 protein. This mouse monoclonal antibody (clone 20-8) is of the IgG1 isotype and is supplied unconjugated in lyophilised form. It has been validated for use in ELISA and Western blot applications and reacts with human hepatitis C virus.

The antibody 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, and it recognises synthetic HCV NS-3 protein. It does not cross-react with the HCV polyprotein core region or other non-structural regions. The product is purified by Protein G affinity chromatography and formulated by lyophilisation from a 0.01M Phosphate Buffered Saline solution at 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. The epitope is derived from the Sp2/0-Ag14 cell line. Prior to use, the lyophilised product should be reconstituted with double distilled water; concentration is reconstitution dependent.
