Extra Details:: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an enveloped double-stranded DNA virus, with a 3.2kb covalently closed circular DNA, that belongs to the genus Orthohepadnaviruses of the Hepadnaviridae family of viruses. Currently, eight genotypes of HBV are recognized, designated A-H, with each genotype having a distinct geographical distribution. HBV is a retrovirus that replicates by reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate. Four genes are present on the virus genome; precore/core, polymerase (P), envelope (preS1/preS2/S) and X. The precore/core gene is responsible for expression of core protein as well as hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), a serological marker of HBV infection correlating with high viral load (Tong et al., 2005). Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoprecipitation of in vitro translated core and pre-core proteins. Other applications not tested.
