Anti-Hepatitis C Virus NS3 Antibody [5-11]

The Hepatitis C Virus NS3 protein is a multifunctional viral enzyme carrying serine protease and NTPase/helicase activities that are essential for polyprotein processing and viral RNA replication, making it a focal target in HCV research, antiviral screening, and vaccine antigen characterization.

Antibodies.com supplies this mouse monoclonal IgG1 reagent, clone 5-11, raised against the NS3 antigen and presented as a lyophilised powder in a 100 µg vial sized for routine ELISA and western blot workflows.

The unconjugated format allows flexible pairing with horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, or fluorophore-labelled secondaries chosen by the end user, and the antibody specifically reacts with NS3 from human hepatitis C virus isolates.

Reconstitution in sterile buffer yields a stable working stock for immunodetection of recombinant NS3 in transfected cell lysates, infected hepatocyte cultures, and purified viral preparations.

For storage, lyophilised material should be kept refrigerated at 2-8 degrees C prior to opening; once reconstituted, single-use aliquots are best stored frozen with limited freeze-thaw cycles to preserve binding activity.

Each lot is quality-controlled for application performance, supporting reproducible signal in HCV virology, protease activity studies, and recombinant antigen quality assessment.
