Anti-Hepatits E Virus ORF2 Antibody [2H2]

Antibodies.com supplies a mouse monoclonal antibody (clone 2H2) raised against the ORF2 capsid protein of Hepatitis E Virus, a non-enveloped, positive-sense RNA virus responsible for acute viral hepatitis that spreads chiefly through contaminated water and the fecal-oral route.

ORF2 is the structural capsid protein of HEV and the dominant target of neutralizing antibodies, so it is widely used as the diagnostic antigen in serology and as the immunogen in recombinant vaccine design. This unconjugated IgG1 reagent is provided as 100 µg of lyophilised powder, which can be reconstituted with sterile distilled water or PBS to the desired working concentration for ELISA or related immunoassay workflows.

The antibody reacts with human hepatitis E virus and supports research on HEV genotype characterization, mapping of B-cell epitopes on the capsid surface, and development of antigen-capture assays for viral antigen in clinical or environmental samples. The lyophilised format extends shelf life relative to pre-diluted liquids, and storage at -20°C with protection from repeated freeze-thaw cycles is recommended to preserve binding activity over time.
