Anti-Hepatitis C Virus NS3 Antibody [281]

The NS3 (non-structural protein 3) region of Hepatitis C Virus encodes a multifunctional enzyme with serine protease activity at its N-terminus and helicase/NTPase activity toward the C-terminus, making it a key target for studies of viral polyprotein processing and replication. This mouse monoclonal antibody, clone 281, binds the HCV NS3 antigen and is supplied by Antibodies.com as a lyophilised preparation of 100 µg. The IgG1 isotype and unconjugated format support western blot detection of NS3 in infected cell lysates and ELISA-based screening of recombinant antigen.

Investigators working on HCV replication mechanisms, antiviral compound screens, or diagnostic assay development use this clone to monitor NS3 abundance across experimental conditions. Reconstitution in sterile buffer restores the antibody for downstream immunoblotting and plate-based immunoassays. The mouse host allows straightforward selection of labelled secondary reagents. Lyophilised format extends shelf life when kept dry; refrigerate the reconstituted antibody and aliquot to limit freeze-thaw cycles. Each vial delivers 100 µg of purified antibody.
