Anti-Hepatitis C Virus NS3 Antibody [242]

This mouse monoclonal antibody, clone 242, specifically recognises the NS3 non-structural protein of Hepatitis C Virus, a multifunctional ~70 kDa enzyme with serine protease and RNA helicase activities essential for viral polyprotein processing and genome replication. Produced by Antibodies.com, the reagent is supplied as a 100 µg lyophilised preparation in an unconjugated IgG1 format, allowing flexible labelling or direct detection in custom assay development. Researchers commonly apply it in western blot analysis of HCV-infected cell lysates and recombinant NS3 expression systems, and it is also validated for ELISA-based quantification of viral antigen. The antibody reacts with Human hepatitis C virus and is intended for research use only in infectious disease, virology, and antiviral drug discovery workflows.
