HCV Combined

Hepatitis C Virus Combined Recombinant

The E. Coli derived 70 kDa recombinant protein contains sequences from 4 gene products (proteins) of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) were scanned by using 3 different PCR-based techniques in search of the most immunoreactive regions suitable for the development of a diagnostic test for the detection of anti-HCV in human sera. All PCR fragments were cloned with pGEX4-2T expression vector and expressed in E. coli as chimeric proteins with glutathione S-transferase. The most diagnostically relevant proteins identified in this study were then contructed into one recombinant antigen. The protein contains the HCV nucleocapsid, NS3 genotype 1b, NS4 genotype 1b and 1a, and NS5 genotype 1b and 1a immunodominant regions.

Applications

HCV Antigen is suitable for ELISA and Western blots, excellent antigen for detection of HCV with minimal specificity problems.

Formulation

50mM Na-PO4, pH-8.5, 2.4mM EDTA, 5mM DTT and 0.1% SDS.

Purification Method

HCV protein was purified by proprietary chromatographic technique.

Purity

HCV protein is >95% pure as determined by 10% PAGE (coomassie staining).

Specificity

Immunoreactive with sera of HCV-infected individuals.

Storage

HCV although stable at 4°C for 1 week, should be stored below -18°C. Please prevent freeze thaw cycles.
