Formulation

25mM Tris-HCl pH-8.0, 1.5 mM EDTA, 1.5mM Urea & 50% glycerol.

Purity

HBV Core protein is >90% pure as determined by 10% PAGE (Coomassie staining).

Description

The E.coli derived recombinant protein contains the HBV core immunodominant region amino acids 1-186, and fused to a His tag at N- terminus.

Protein Background

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 t

Purification Method

HBV Core protein was purified by proprietary chromatographic technique.

Pysical Appearance

FDA approved Plasma from each donor has been tested and found negative for antibody to HIV-1, HIV-2, HCV, HBSAG, HBc, ALT and Syphilis.Viral inactivation by pasteurization (60°C for 10 hours) has been validated using three different test viruses, with rem
