Anti-Hepatitis C Virus NS5a Antibody [8926]

This Mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody, clone 8926, targets the non-structural protein 5A (NS5a) of Hepatitis C Virus and is supplied by Antibodies.com as an unconjugated liquid reagent in a 100 µg size. NS5a is a multifunctional phosphoprotein essential for viral RNA replication and virion assembly, and probing its expression and localization is a common approach in HCV virology research. Suggested applications include Western blot for detecting NS5a in transfected or infected cell lysates, and immunofluorescence for visualizing its subcellular distribution in permissive hepatocyte lines such as Huh-7. For best stability, store aliquots at -20 °C, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and protect from light to preserve binding activity over the shelf life of the reagent.
