Description

The E.coli derived recombinant Biotin Labeled genotype-1b protein contains the HCV core nucleocapsid immunodominant regions, amino acids 2-119. The protein is fused to a GST tag at N-terminus.

Protein Background

HCV is a small 50nm, enveloped, single-stranded, positive sense RNAvirus in the family Flaviviridae. HCV has a high rate of replication with approximately one trillion particles produced each day in an infected individual. Due to lack of proofreading by t

Purification Method

HCV Core protein was purified by proprietary chromatographic technique.
