Introduction

Hepatitis B is one of a few known non-retroviralviruses which employ reverse transcriptionas a part of its replication process. (HIV, a completely unrelated virus, also uses reverse transcription, but it is a retrovirus.) HBV invades the cell by binding to surface receptor and become internalized. The viral core particles then migrate to the hepatocyte nucleus and the partially double-stranded, relaxed circular genomes (RC-DNA) are repaired to form a covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), which is the template for viral genomic and sub-genomic RNAs by cellular RNA polymerase II. Of these, the pregenomic RNA (pgRNA is selectively packaged into progeny capsids and is then reverse-transcribed into new RC-DNA. The core can either bud into the endoplasmic reticulum to be enveloped or exported from the cell or recycled back into the genome for conversion to cccDNA.

Clone

mouse IgG1.

Purification Method

Ion exchange column.

Protein concentration

1mg/ml in PBS (after reconstitution).

Shipping Conditions

Antibody is shipped lyophilized at ambient temperature.

Storage Procedures

In lyophilized form, for long periods, store at 4°C in a dry environment. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -20°C.

Reconstitution

Reconstitute with H20. Mix gently, wash the sides of the vial and wait 30-60 seconds before use.

Stability / Shelf Life

Two years lyophilized, one month in solution at 4°C.

Applications

Direct ELISA, Western Blot, Immuneprecipitation, immunohistochemistry.

Titer

By direct ELISA (against r.hepatitis vaccine), 1:10,000 dilution will yield 0.5 O.D using alkaline phosphatase conjugated rabbit anti-mouse Ig (Jackson Laboratories).

Additional Information

This antibody recognizes both the AD and the AY antigens in direct ELISA and works in capture ELISA with anti-hepatitis Ag-1.
