Anti-Hepatitis C Virus NS4 Antibody [174]

This Mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody from Antibodies.com targets the Hepatitis C Virus NS4 protein, a non-structural component central to viral RNA replication and membrane-associated replication complex formation. Clone 174 is supplied as a lyophilised preparation of 100 µg, reconstituted with sterile water or buffer before use in ELISA workflows. The unconjugated format allows flexible pairing with secondary detection reagents or custom labelling strategies.

The reagent specifically recognises NS4 in human hepatitis C virus, supporting studies into viral polyprotein processing, NS3-NS4A protease cofactor activity, and the membrane remodelling role of NS4B. Typical research contexts include mapping linear epitopes within the NS4 region, characterising host-pathogen interactions, and benchmarking candidate antiviral compounds that disrupt NS4-dependent replication. Aliquots after reconstitution are recommended to limit freeze-thaw cycles and preserve binding activity across repeated ELISA runs.
