Anti-Hepatitis C Virus NS4 Antibody [202]

This mouse monoclonal IgA antibody from Antibodies.com targets the non-structural protein 4 (NS4) of the human hepatitis C virus and is supplied as a 100 µg lyophilised preparation. Clone 202 was raised against HCV NS4 and is validated for ELISA-based detection workflows. The unconjugated format permits direct labelling or coupling to solid supports during custom assay development, while the lyophilised product form supports flexible reconstitution at the working concentration of choice. IgA-class immunoglobulins are uncommon among research reagents, giving this clone a distinctive role in characterising mucosal antibody responses and mapping antigenic determinants within the NS4 region.

Typical applications include probing recombinant NS4 expression constructs, screening serological panels from infected donors, and analysing patient-derived viral isolates. The antibody is intended for research use only and is supplied as a single-use vial that should be reconstituted under conditions appropriate for the downstream immunoassay format. Researchers studying HCV immune recognition patterns, viral polyprotein processing, or diagnostic assay development for the NS4 antigen may find this reagent useful as a primary detection reagent or coating antibody.
